to

>1.  What is the Shelton Hotel now called?  Does the structure still stand? 
(Yes, I already checked the yellow pages and it's not listed!)

>3.  Was it famous at the time as a hangout for artists/photographers/other
creative >types (such as, for example, real estate lawyers)?

>4.  Does anyone have any useful or at least interesting facts about the
Shelton
