Talk:Edgewater Beach Hotel

message: I find it very confusing to have a photo and info box for the Edgewater Apartments, a totally separate building from the Edgewater Beach Hotel when the article is about the hotel, now demolished. Is there any photo of the Hotel that could be placed above an info box, and put discussion of the apartments in a separate section or a separate article?  --Prairieplant (talk) 01:44, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

text: Fine with me. The best photo is the aerial view in the brochure in External Links, but that photo has a cord from the brochure running through it! I did make an effort to give the text a lead that states when the hotel was demolished. Maybe I could add a title for the text below, History of the Edgewater Beach Hotel and associated buildings.  If the Hotel photo is above the Apartments photo, that might make it all clearer, what was demolished, what remains.  --Prairieplant (talk) 00:02, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I take it back about the best photo I have seen so far. It is the one at the top of the article on the WTTW site, Chicago Stories, already a cite in this article, about the Edgewater Beach Hotel. This article has a ways to go to describe both the building complex itself and its role in society until air conditioning and the extension of LSD so it was no longer on the edge of the water. I wonder if there are any color photos of it, before it was knocked down? I made an info box (copying from Palmer Mansion) and put that not quite right photo up top. If the tower was completed in 1922 (per WTTW), then why did it not show in that photo marked 1923? --Prairieplant (talk) 04:42, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  confusing: hotel article with  photo of the apartments 

message: you might want to used Template:Cite court as a guide for the citation to the court case you used to indicate the the short distance from the hotel to the lake when the hotel was first built. I imagine you found this online, and can add the url to the citation. I commented out part of that citation, because Leagle. Web does not make any sense. Did you find it on line?  --Prairieplant (talk) 07:33, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  how to cite a court case 

message: A pair of photos, Then and Now, show the skyline when just the Main building was constructed and in use, in 1923, and then a photo taken from approximately the same position looking south, taken in 2006. When the postcard image was used in the infobox, not enough thought was done to consider the best use of the photos. I made two changes just now. First, the text is rearranged so that the paragraph about the apartments built in matching style and still standing, is closer to the "photo at right" in that second infobox. Second, the photos Then and Now are in the section on Demolition of the hotel buildings, with Then on the left and Now on the right. I would like to work in the other skyline photo, which shows a much less elegant set of buildings compared to the demolished hotel complex. I hope that editor  will re-consider deleting the 1923 image from this article. Replacement images are not easily available for the skyline, the buildings against the lake.  and  and other editors who have worked on this article, what do you think? --Prairieplant (talk) 03:40, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
