One of the Originals...

Pictured on top, from our October 1927 issue of 'Gaylord Glimpses,' is one of our original Gaylord residents, Mrs. George (Alta) E. Feagans. Alta was married to a prestigious jewelry store owner and silver maker. The Feagans and Company jewelry store opened in 1906, at the Hotel Alexandria (interior of the store pictured above), in downtown Los Angeles. The hotel was L.A.'s first 5 star hotel and Feagans served a high-end clientele, such as the residents of the Gaylord. We are not familiar with the cause of death of George and Alta, but George passed away on Christmas day, 1934 and Alta followed 3 days later on the 28th. Let's just say it was true love and another Gaylord story.
