There is a book (manuscript; laid-in) afloat ~~~

~~~ Illustrating mostly architectural photos of when the property was under construction from groundbreaking.

The last I heard it was gifted to a university in the original 13 colonies but, where, I am not sure.

There are 1 or 2 brief articles online showing a few of the photos of dining areas and their names, thougn, it is strictly an architectural work and I do not recall ever seeing or hearing about chips... I think I even posted a picture or two of a Floorplan and that same room being trimmed out but not sure if that photo was part of the original group of photos in the book.

I know that though the field of study is not uncommon on an International level, there appears to be very little interest in our part of the World and, when some of the books actually went into print, they were wholesaled at very little cost... Eisenstadt and I bought a couple of those elaborte wroks at only $4 each from a clearing house in Connecticut, somewhere online.

Never understood why our MoGH never became interested in or at least followed through on some suggestions made here through the years in obtaining such works, other than a few comments as to "do it yourself; or find it first and then we'll worry about display and storage" which equals, some of this casino-related stuff gifted to university libraries will never see the light of day where, maybe, we could of had a shot... and, this is no discredit to all those who have done their best in our MoGH.
