$6M vanishes easy these days nifer. A paltry sum in the scheme of things. They swept the sidewalk.

It is the Mount Olympus suite! Gods descended on clouds to bless the commoners with wisdom. Faithful followers worshiped them from the streets below. The days when waifs and peasants knew their place, and scrambled for crumbs of cake tossed from the lofty ivory towers. Sad to see it end.

The US Congress needs to move into this in it's current condition. If we're lucky, zombies will eat them! Interesting enclosed radiators concealed inside the walls.

Surely no lowly commoners were allowed to contaminate the hallowed chambers of our kings and lords!

An older building design which includes a large air shaft down the center of the building to provide windows and ventilation for interior rooms. No forced air ventilation systems were built into these buildings.

Hi Kathy,
I do not know where you live but there will be a protest in Wilkes-Barre, where the Sterling is located. It may not be enough but it is a start. This protest may get the ball rolling as to finding other ways to stop the demolition. Or according to Bertha, in the previous comments, she has something going on on Facebook. If you check out the Wilkes-Barre newspaper, The Times Leader, they have an article that appeared on Tuesday, March 22 that states there will be a protest on Friday March 25. Also in an article on Wednesday, March 23, in the Times Leader, another article states that there will be another protest planned for Saturday, March 26 from 1-5pm.
Maybe this means the word is spreading that most don't want to see the Sterling demolished, and something can be done to help save the hotel! We will see where this is going to go.
