For Sale: The Great Hall

The Great Hall of the Belmont Hotel, Baton Rouge, Louisiana

The Great Hall was a site for weddings, conventions and trade shows. When the hotel closed years ago, rentals of the Great Hall declined. I've taken photos of the deteriorating Belmont for years ( http://365project.org/eudora/three/2011-09-07), but recent murders in the vicinity have convinced me it's not the smartest place to wander around with a camera. So I wonder who will buy The Great Hall....

I have some areas in Detroit I'd like to shoot but have similar concerns. Gotta watch out!

I love the fading beauty of this building. I hope that it gets bought and fixed up and restored. Too bad that these things happen. Stay safe, Diane.
