chicago ahtletic club dining room "drooping tip" cast plaster ceiling finally exposed

after dismantling the false or "drop" ceiling installed during a classic remuddle, the original cast plaster "drooping tip" ceiling was exposed for the first time in decades. unfortunately, the installation of the drop ceiling caused considerable damage to the ornament. i'm glad i was able to capture the moment during this unusual "unveiling." the ceiling was installed in 1892-93 in the chicago athletic association building dining room.
