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?
