The Magnolia Hotel St. Louis is a historic hotel in downtown St. Louis, Missouri, known for most of its life as the Mayfair Hotel. The Mayfair was founded by hotelier Charles Heiss from Bavaria. Heiss had previous hotel experience in Europe, Canada, and America, including time as the assistant manager at the Knickerbocker in New York and with Statler Hotels (an early American hotel chain) where he had managed their Detroit hotel. Mr. Heiss was transferred to St. Louis to manage the Statler hotel there, which he did for some years before having a disagreement with Mr. Statler, in which he swore to build better hotels nearby in St. Louis. Designed by prominent St. Louis architect Preston J. Bradshaw, the hotel's 18-story building was built in 1924 and 1925. The concrete building is faced in red brick and terra cotta; it uses terra cotta extensively in its facing, window frames, ornaments, and cornices. The building had three high-speed elevators run by elevator operators. The Mayfair opened its doors on August 29, 1925, for a private reception and dinner for the 120 stockholders and contractors. The next evening, 4,000 guests were invited for a grand opening and dedication. The Mayfair Hotel featured a nine-chair barbershop, a six-booth beauty parlor (unlike at many hotels where these services would be located in a basement), and private dining rooms and a luxurious lounge in the mezzanine off the lobby. Among the hotel's guests throughout the years were Irving Berlin, John Barrymore, Douglas Fairbanks, Cary Grant, Harry Truman, and Lyndon B. Johnson. In 1925, Radio station KMOX went on the air from a studio in the mezzanine. KMOX installed an ,000 Kilgen organ and held recitals every day at noon and between 6 and 7 p.m. In 1977, the hotel was renovated. Some 85 rooms were removed and the interior redecorated, but original features were kept when possible, maintaining the building's historic value. The hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 17, 1979.
The wood hangers measure approx. 8.5" x 17" and are in good used condition. They have a bar across the bottom so you may hang trousers on them. The metal hook swivels, made by

Hey, thanks for taking the time to visit my auction. I'm a stay-at-home mom trying to make extra income on eBay. I have been selling (and buying) since 1999 and truly enjoy the eBay experience. Because I am not an expert in any field, I may omit something which is of importance to you. Please feel free to ask specific questions about the item you are interested in. We are a non-smoking household with one cat. That said, many items are from tag sales, thrift stores, estate sales, etc. and I am not the original owner. I will certainly describe any detectable odors.
My shipping charges are based upon many factors (the time it takes me to do the description, size of the item and the amount of packing materials it will require for it to be "Post Office Proof," gasoline for the car, tape/envelopes, and my time, etc.) and feel that the shipping charges are very fair, so please don't ask me to participate in the "exact postage campaign." Note: eBay has now started charging sellers a 10% final value fee on shipping charges! Payment must be received within 2 days of the close of the auction. If no contact is made from buyer within 48 hours of auction end, item may be relisted or offered to another bidder.
Thank you for your interest in my auction, good luck should you decide to bid.  Peace, Lisa
