There's History Here

The Crystal Chandelier

Our crystal chandelier comes from an iconic hotel in Houston.  The Shamrock Hotel was sadly demolished in 1987, but this chandelier was one of two that hung in the iconic 1950's hotel.

The Shamrock Hotel

The Shamrock Hotel was one of the most extravagant symbols of Texas in the 1950s & 1960s.   Known as the "Houston Riviera".  It was glamorous and "a place to be seen."

Demolished in 1987

Even though the Shamrock Hotel is no longer there, one of two of the extravagant chandeliers is now hanging in our Crystal Ballroom.

History is important because it teaches us about past. And by learning about the past, you come to understand the present, so that you may make educated decisions about the future.
