“Among those at the forefront of Hollywood Regen “Among those at the forefront of Hollywood Regency were interior designers like Dorothy Draper, who rose to prominence in the 1920s and 1930s after decorating some of the major hotels and apartment buildings in New York City, Chicago, and San Francisco. Her signature style focused on dramatic color schemes – often with shiny black ceilings or black-and-white patterned flooring – along with a profusion of mirrors, floral textiles, and green woodwork.”
— @variety 

Pictured is the Palácio Quitandinha in Brazil, a wonderful example of Dorothy Draper’s pioneering Hollywood Regency style. See our Stories for more.

People like Gerry Carr make the Greenbrier what it People like Gerry Carr make the Greenbrier what it is. He has just finished his night shift, including one and a half hours polishing the marble floor “without a streak”. Gerry’s parents were both in the Navy. His Dad was killed in service when he was four. Gerry was with the police force for 27 years and the Greenbrier for 15 years. Gerry’s two children are in the police force serving the same town as he did. God bless America, Gerry and his family. #workethic #service #honesty #backboneofamerica #greenbrier #dorothydraper #wv
