The letters under the windows at the Grande Ballroom are a well kept secret connected to the origial owner, Harry Weitzman. I know what they mean.

Thanks for the Grande Closeups.
I have long studied the building but NEVER noticed the unicorn creature. The initials,we suspect may be those of the building architect and owners. Charles Agree (A )Harry Weitzman (W) Not certain on the other 2 characters, anyone have an idea ?
