Description

An image of one of the hundred studio guest rooms at the Aqueduct at the Sands Hotel and Casino. The exterior was designed by Julius Gabrielle, and the interior was designed by Albert Parvin & Company. Like all Sands rooms, this one had wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling drapes. A boucle-weave casement cloth under curtain eliminated the use of blinds. Outside draperies supplied most of the color accents in the room. Wall coverings in this room were of imported Japanese grass cloth. The table had a drop leaf which extended the surface to 72" x 30". All rooms featured antique-framed mirrors hung off center above 66-inch Mr. and Mrs. Chests. All guest room furniture was made in Barker Brother's factory.
