PARLOR TRICKS

IMAGE ABOVE -- Some of the bedchambers offered adjoining parlors for the patrons' socializing pleasure.  One of the sitting rooms can be seen in Suite #19.  It's interesting to note that, in these pre-air conditioning days, Cora sometimes gave electric fans to her girls as birthday gifts.
