Saturday Hunt - two keepers

[Gimmie The Loot]

Went hunting on Saturday, American Pickers style. A friend was cleaning out an old house for remodeling and I stopped by to see what was being tossed out. Found a box of change that was all clad besides the two in the picture. The IH still has some shine to it. Also got a bunch of other goods but those belong on another forum.

History on the Hotel:
The Inn of Chicago Magnificent Mile, a beloved historic Chicago hotel, has had quite a fascinating history since construction began in 1927. Known as the Hotel St. Clair back then, it opened in the fall of 1928.

This was the time known as the “Roaring ‘20s” and the $3 million dollar construction price tag was considered quite steep at the time in the city of Chicago. A total of 11 floors of the Hotel St. Clair were dedicated as residential, all containing one-bedroom apartments. The 22nd floor was the spacious penthouse suite, which later housed the Chicago Press Club Headquarters from 1960 to 1978 — the longest time in residence of any Press Club in the history of Chicago.

With the famous supper club Chez Paree located just one block from the hotel, the Hotel St. Clair frequently hosted a number of celebrities — including the “Adorables,” the beautiful showgirls of Chez Paree who were akin to Hollywood starlets. When the supper club closed in 1960, it marked the end of an extravagant and glamorous era in Chicago.

Celebrities who stayed at the hotel included Bob Hope, Gypsy Rose Lee, Judy Garland, Roy Rogers and Trigger, Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, and Irv Kupcinet.

No - I wanted to but I guess the remodeling is just new floors and appliances. Wouldn't let me open any walls.
