An interesting event happened at the St. Francis in late September 1945. The famous Black Sheep squadron VMF-214 held a party for their commanding officer Maj. Greg “Pappy” Boyington, who had been a POW in Japan for 22 months. The event was covered by Life magazine and was supposedly the first time a drinking party had been shown in the magazine.

My parents honeymooned there during WWII.

I've passed through there many times en route from Neimans to Saks. It's gorgeous!

I bought a hutch at an antique sale, I was told it stood in the St. Francis hotel after 1904. I have no provenance on the hutch. The hutch is solid walnut and stands 12 feet. It also has a wolfs head carved in the main door. Very ornate and beautiful. If anyone has any information on this hutch please contact me at condricek@gmail.com.

I'm in the hotel right now

love it! Thanks for posting!
