The northeast corner of the Skirvin Hotel in downtown Oklahoma City. This is the last picture I have from this group of the Skirvin. A return trip will occur in the near future.

Stone work at the north west corner of the Skirvin Hotel.

Light fixtures on the second floor of the Skirvin Hotel in downtown OKC. I have two pictures from the Skirvin left ... before I go back with a tripod or flash unit.

A chair in the front lobby of the refurbished Skirvin Hotel in downtown OKC.

A marble staircase at the Skirvin Hotel in downtown OKC. The staircase is at the east end of the building, and leads to the north entrance.

This light fixture is in a hallway outside one of the ballrooms at the east end of the Skirvin. Some minor filter correction was done in the digital darkroom; otherwise, what you see is what I shot.

More wood from the Skirvin. This is paneling is at the east entrance - just before the historic exhibits I mentioned earlier.

Commenter "john leeke" requests more pictures of the lobby and/or coffee shop. I do hope to return to get more pictures. A tripod will be required, as this is a low-light situation. All the pictures I've shared to date (since 17 March) were shot with available light (no flash). Some digital dark room effects have been used, including a (hopefully subtle) filter effect today.

To John - click the "Skirvin" label at the bottom of this post, and you should be lead to all the Skirvin shots I've shared to date.

This image has been digitally altered. Can you guess how?

I can't decide if this was a historical element — it's at the end of the hallway we saw yesterday — or if it's an ad for the gift shop just around the corner. My gut feeling is it's related to commerce.

This lamp is on the concierge's desk.

There is a small historic display down this hall. An original bell hop's uniform. Stationary. Photographs of famous folk who have stayed at the Skirvin — Sammy Davis, Jr, and Richard Nixon, for example.

Back at the recently renovated Skirvin Hotel in downtown Oklahoma City. This is the grill work at the edge of the balcony over-looking the lobby.

Skirvin Interior

This is the capital of one of the columns in the lobby of the Skirvin. The masks seem to me to be rather pagan in origin - odd for a city often considered to be in the heart of the buckle of the Bible belt.

I've cleverly obscured the fact that the original image was a bit blurred through the use of some arty techniques. I don't mind telling you I have some to learn about shooting in low light conditions.

This painting is hung at the entry to the restaurant at the north end of the Skirvin. There was no plaque giving artist or title, so I regret I can tell you no more about this charming work.

81/365

A typical light fixture in the lounge/club area of the remodeled Skirvin Hotel.

80/365

The bar/lounge at the Skirvin Hotel. I'm rather fond of the dark wood.

The newly refurbished Skirvin Hotel. Pictures for the next couple of days will share some interior details.
