I've been told the roof collapsed or partially collapsed at one point and it will cost too much to upfit the space for anything. These images are from nearly a decade ago and, since that time, the building was renovated and any historic features were demolished. It was the site of the first successful sit-in in 1960. This building was constructed around 1880 for a department store and reclad around 1915 as part of a conversion to a Woolworth Store.

It has a separate entrance for those only visiting the rooftop bar. You can visit the rooftop bar and lobby restaurant/bar/Starbucks without being an overnight hotel guest. According to the hotel's ownership, this hotel has a roof top bar with a beautiful view of the skyline, a second bar in the lobby, onsite restaurant, onsite Starbucks, patio area with firepit, indoor salt water pool, courtesy shuttle, 1,400 square feet of meeting/event space, and 126 guest rooms.
