Comments on: Skirvin Hotel Pre-Renovation http://www.abandonedok.com/skirvin/ Preserving Oklahoma's Past Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:57:35 +0000 hourly 1 By: Lady Lelouch http://www.abandonedok.com/skirvin/#comment-89197 Lady Lelouch Thu, 15 Sep 2011 03:34:30 +0000 http://abandonedok.com/?p=83#comment-89197 No shame on you! Tresspassing is illegal even if you are homeless. These old buildings are not yours sleep in and crap all over. Live in a proper shelter for a while, get a job, AND PAY YOUR OWN RENT! 5.75 for tobacco? Why don't you buy yourself a loaf of bread with that money so you can eat for a few days? And why the heck do you have a wordpress if you're homeless? Instead of bitching all day on the internet about how tough you have it, why don't you get up off your behind and FIX IT. Now if you're homeless, or a vietnam vet, or mentally ill, then that's okay. But the person about doesn't seem to be any of those things he just wants the feds to give him a free ride.

He got a autograph from Elvis Preslry when Elvis was there.

We enjoyed our stay. I have also enjoyed reading all about the Skirvin's history. My mother claims to have purchased a large picture that hung in the Skirvin prior to it's renovation. She passed a few years ago and I now have that picture. It is large- 36"x43". The frame is gold but has a small green area close to the enterior part. The art work carries a plaque that says; Sir John Dean Paul Old England. I was hoping someone could tell me if what my Mother told me could be true and if not could someone direct me to an information source about the art work that hung in the 'old' Skirvin Hotel. Thank you, Joyce Spring The Skirvin Hotel was where my husband and I spent our 40th anniversary last year. We enjoyed our stay. I have also enjoyed reading all about the Skirvin’s history.

There were so few people staying there that we wandered the halls at 2am and never saw a soul. We ended up dancing to imagined music in the old ballroom which appeared not to have been used for years. So glad that it's been restored now.
