There is one comment.

  The original interior of the hotel (now since removed when remodeled into the Hotel Allegro) was supposedly one of the earliest Art Deco interiors in the United States---the building was under construction when the show in Paris that gave Art Deco its name took place. The owners apparently changed the interiors at the last minute to the newest style, but left the interiors of the Palace Theatre as originally designed.
