Did you know…
The tin ceiling, in the lobby of the DeSoto House, was installed in March of 1903 by J.B. Reynick and his assistants. At that time the room was called “the office.” The Galena newspaper noted that, besides the room’s improvement in appearance, “Pat Flynn, the genial night clerk, is no longer in danger of being crushed by falling plaster.”
