There was nothing in the hotel archives to document what had been found. But this 1927 photograph, which originally appeared in Architecture magazine, proved to be a visual Rosetta stone. Mr. Littler found it in "Grand Hotels of the Jazz Age: The Architecture of Schultze & Weaver," published four years ago by Princeton Architectural Press.
