There are three 4 x 5 negatives for sale on eBay of the De Ville Motel and the surrounding area on 7th Street.
This is the negative I happened upon first.
...We're looking west on 7th Street.

I was peasantly surprised when I came across this 2nd negative looking east towards the Statler Hotel.

The policeman must be in
al's enjoying a cup of coffee.
...hmm. . .I wonder if
al's is lower case because
de Ville is?
(lower case)
note the map store down the block.
And lastly, the 3rd negative was taken from the De Ville parking ramp looking south towards the fine old building across the street.

Sadly, the building across the street is gone.
...Does anyone know the name of the building or its purpose? (and when it was demolished)
I thought it was an apartment building but then I noticed it doesn't have a front entrance.
The de Villa Motel is still in business as the City Center Hotel.
1123 W. 7th Street
