First National Building and the Ponchartrain Hotel
Since Gilbert's Bedrock took over control and is renovatng interior spaces in the First National Building, is he also planning to restore the buildings stone cornice [[which I believe is currently covered by metal sidiing?) Does anyone know if there was a structural problem with the original cornice/parapet that cause it to be covered in the first place?
Also, Is seems that they are test paint scheme[[s) for the exterior of the Ponchartrain that appears to be of an atypical palet [[any thoughts/opinions out there). Is anyone aware of the timeline to reopen the hotel and it is to include a restored plaza level and/or a bridge to Cobo Hall?
