This place has a ton of potential.  The rooms are huge, and the art deco look is fantastic.  Let's hope for the best with this.

I was always hopeful that they could combine the Barker building with the Redick somehow.  There actually was a plan for that but it died a quick death.

If anyone has been in the building is was like stepping back into the 30's. It was very art deco but some elements made it looked too dated. If they keep restore the inside to be modern as well as retro then I think they could start to get into the Magnolia class of hotel. That bistro will really help.

It looks like the old awning is still on the 15th St. entrance- hopefully they plan on replacing that one too. I haven't seen anything going on either and I have a perfect view into the upper floors of the building.... maybe they are doing some infrastructure work that isn't easily visible. I guess if they said this is going to take a few months it could just be ramping up.

Hmmmm...I live right across the street from this building, and look out onto it, and I did not notice the new awning.  Thanks for mentioning this.

I saw the new awning the other day, too. It's nice; flat black with no lettering yet. The awning on the east side was still the old one.

All the furniture is being remove from the hotel.  Moving vans have been here for days so lets hope this is the beginning of a renovation.

This building is definitely being gutted.

I wonder what's being done (or what's being allowed to NOT be done) to preserve the architectural character of the inside of the building.

So far all they have done is ripped out all the interior room carpeting and took down all the window coverings.
