Founders Rooms
"The
rooms of the Founders Club of Detroit on the ballroom
mezzanine are among perhaps the most lavishly furnished
in the hotel, and consist of an office, a women's
room, and a general club room and vestibule. The carpet
is rose and gold of Louis XVI design, extremely rich
and beautiful. The furniture consists of reproductions
and antiques from the Louis XIV period covered with
handsome tapestries and French cut velvets. There
is an imported table done in gold with heavy marble
slab top. Against one wall is a Boule bookcase imported
from France, black, inlaid with bronze in tortoise
shell. The draperies are gold brocatel. At one corner
of the principal room is Louis XIV rosewood and bronze
ormolu floor clock. The walls are panelled in Louis
XIV design."
"In
the Founders Club is a women's room furnished with
imported Louis XVI enameled furniture covered in brocade."
