I am starting this thread in the hopes of finding some photos of The Grande Ballroom. I am trying to find pictures from its original heyday from 1920's-1944. I especially welcome pictures that show what the ground floor was used for. Better yet if anyone can locate the original blueprints or drawings for the building I would be quite grateful for your assistance.

From what I have seen the building is in quite the sorry shape at the moment but I wonder just how bad it really is. I mean obviously the building needs a new roof,ceiling,rewiring,replumbing and such but I haven't seen any pictures from the bottom floor to see just how bad it really is. From what I have been able to gleam the first floor appears to be either boarded or bricked up and painted over but I can't really tell.

Any information is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
