    The Blossom Ballroom in 2009 needed new air conditioning and lighting system. To access the overhead cooling, the decorative grid ceiling and to be cut through and reinstalled. This prompted a full restoration of the space. The original stenciling in the 100’s of coffers was discovered and recreated by KC Restoration.

    The Roosevelt Hotel is a historic Spanish-style hotel located at 7000 Hollywood Blvd. in Hollywood, CA. Named after Theodore Roosevelt and financed by a group including Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford and Louis B. Mayer, it first opened its doors on May 15, 1927. It cost $2.5 million to complete this twelve-story building which holds 300 rooms and suites. It is now managed by Thompson Hotels.
