... (4) Cycling back to the third photo above, the "Hotel Michigana" sign would be great to model, along with the hotel.
I think I am reading the sign correctly and from a fairly good memory of seeing it it was the "Michiana" Hotel - no "g" in there.Michigana is incorrect

Thanks Hancock52!

No question about it, that was a typo -- likely from living in Michigan so long. Michiana (which my spellchecker again tried to change by adding a "g"!...) is a region that is at least informally part of both southern Lower Michigan and the adjacent part of Northern Indiana.

I lived near South Bend, IN for 3 years, and the region was often referred to as Michiana - with, for example, "The biggest Chevy dealer in the Michiana area", etc. The regions were intricately connected. Friends and family would sometimes take the train to Niles, MI from Detroit, and, I would drive the roughly 8 Miles to pick them up. Pleasant memories.
