The first rays of the June sun found an Ormsby House covered in scaffolding. Work just keeps rolling on. Let’s get to it.

The little casino they built on the ground floor of the parking garage was formerly known as the Winchester Club. Now it’s been rechristened as the Ormsby Club, and finally got a permanent sign. For the last year there’s been nothing but banners flapping in the breeze to announce that it exists. Here YESCO is mounting the sign amongst the FakeRock™.

A pedestrian admires the snazzy new sign.

What’s most notable about this sign is that it confirms that the Guns N’ Roses motif is here to stay for the new millenium. They’ve built a brand around that logo; no need to go changing it now. I think we’re going to be seeing a lot of that little derringer next year when the hotel/casino starts getting new signage.

The main entrance inside the parking structure got its own little sign. The Sani-Hut glowers from across the street.

The sky bridge between the garage and the casino had quite a bit of work done. Here wallboard is installed along the middle section, windows are framed in, and decorative bits start showing up along the roofline.

From this angle you can see that the decorative arch at the corner has been covered in wallboard. Plus you can see the framing around the windows more clearly.

It also seems that the Sani-Huts are reproducing.

Looking through the portecochere gives us a better look at the bridge.

Keep going.
