THE OLD HOTEL WAS GOOD FOR SOMETHING

Maybe some long-term Newark natives will recognize the public officials from the 60's who portraits I plastered into the windows of the old hotel (Warden?) - the one that stood on the corner of Second and East Main streets where Wendy's is now located. I was fairly new in town when I manufactured this hooky montage.

I can only be sure about the identities of three: Skip Melton, top row far left, Phil Resta, middle window top row, and to his right, Al Hoffman.

I don't even remember why I shot it, but it might have had something to do United Way and the use of the hotel for UW offices. Just a guess. Note that they all have posies in their lapels, indicating the portraits were shot at the same time at some meeting.
