Thanks for pointing this out. You and ER must have noticed that this Raymond was a working hotel until the fire. It received respectable reviews, so I am guessing they probably updated the lighting and televisions from the way you remember things.

Did the Raymond always have the curious over-the-door signage? Seems like the kind of folk art Jack McDermott might have appreciated.
Was it designed as a hotel, with a front desk, or an apartment complex?
