Leave the lobby and mezzanine exterior as-is, but paint the brickwork white. Green or oxblood awings complete the scheme lol

I wonder if there was an urn atop the base between the two scrolls??? The bricks to the left are definitely in need of repointing. Very nice symmetricality

Ah! This reminds me of the "Hollywood Tower Hotel" sign on Tower of Terror in Disney World. That's awesome.

This was Sordoni's suite as I understand it. He owned the place for a time. I believe he was a senator as well.

I am pretty sure the building is electrified with lights because developers and contractors tour this building occasionally.

I am a former resident with family in the area, but yes this part of Hotel Sterling is still up and is supposed to be renovated into condos. Another building which was part of the complex was torn down as it was deemed not worthy of renovation.

just so you know, not all of the Sterling Hotel was demolished in 2006 like the other page says. I like about 3 minutes away, and it's still there. These pictures are amazing! I've always wanted to go in there!

that room looks so lived in because actually it probably is. hobos go and stay in the Sterling Hotel and during the winter they start little like fire pits in the rooms and sometimes the fires will catch the room on fire. and then the fire department has to come and put it out. and sorry about saying hobos i mean the homeless.. and people dont think i'm going by what i hear on the internet or from people...i know about the Sterling Hotel because i live right by it and the news people talk about the Sterling Hotel like at least a few times a year.
