580:. He says the Skyroom was planned from the beginning as an alcohol-serving bar and it was placed high up at the 24th floor because a local ordinance prohibited alcohol consumption within 200 feet of a church. I think Simon's source must have forgotten that the building was planned as early as 1925 when there wasn't much indication that Prohibition would end in 1933. Other sources say that the church/hotel was designed to be a 'dry' hotel. If so, what was on the 24th floor at that time? After 1933, did the Methodist Episcopalians open a cocktail lounge in desperation to attract guests? If not, exactly when did the Empire Hotel open the Skyroom--when did the first drink get poured? 397: 376: 502: 481: 340: 246: 219: 256: 32: 188: 118: 407: 328: 624:
After the church/hotel failed he moved to San Diego and became a pastor at the First Methodist Church. I have more information on him but I don't think it's pertinent.

Would it be possible to add information about Methodist Pastor Dr. Walter John Sherman? He was pivotal in working toward the construction of the building for 10 years. There was a Time Magazine article in 1930 crediting him for his work. He was also the head pastor of the church while it operated.

Feel free to bring mention of Sherman into the article. I think a few sentences about his contribution would be appropriate.
