Well I wrote a book on the Columns Hotel, not published yet. As I was the one who BUILT the bar in Nov.-Dec. 1980 I could tell you what is and what isn't original. The ceiling in the bar I uncovered after 60 years it being hidden behind a drop plaster and lathe ceiling. The columns in the double parlor (ball room) I discovered/uncovered as well. Since you did thus video it was SOLD. Dec. 5th 2019
Brilliant and informative!
My sister and I always loved that theatre as kids!
