Inside the Statler Hilton and Lake Cliff Tower
This summer I am working on an independentstudy through CCCCD where I attend each
semester and going to learn the old fashioned
way to shoot with sheet film and the 4x5
camera!


The beautiful, restored Lake Cliff Towers came to mindas I am looking for locations that might have a 60's flair
This lobby may just be a little too pretty and niceproperty manager, Patrick Muscanere, who was so kind
to indulge me with a look around and of
course... PHOTOS!

This morning I headed out for downtown and thefor a possible photo shoot.
about the Statler and it's condition and hope of
restoration,I was quite surprised to find workers all over
the place doing various clean up on the old building.
The building was sort of open, a fellow asked me if i was
meeting someone there, so i answered no, that i was
just hoping to take a few photos. A little while later
I was able to snap a few inside the lobby, which was
really a special treat for me!~

Conrad Hilton was so proud of this grand, flagshiphotel, and it's stairway was known far and wide!
The hotel was opened in 1956, I believe, and was so farthat it was a real treat to attend a function there or have
the opportunity to spend a few nights there. Ask Conrad,
he flew stars in such as Jane Mansfield and maybe Marilyn,
it was quite a happenin' place in the 50-60's!
