Once upon a time, in 1948, a portion of the extensive & elaborate Gaylord lobby was taken away to create the "Gay Room, Dining & Dancing," located where our tenant the HMS Bounty sits today. Above the current ceiling in the Bounty and hidden is this gaily trompe l'oeil ceiling most likely painted during the "Gay Room" days.
So when we eventually get this COVID-19 pandemic in the rearview mirror and are able to return to a somewhat normal life and the HMS reopens for indoor dining & drinks, you can sit there and ponder what other gems might be hidden behind those paneled walls & ceiling from years gone by.
