I stayed in Revingtons Hotel four nights every month for Business on the Coast in the early 60's. One time I got a bad case of food poisoning from their restaurant. which lead to the Dr, being called to treat me. I was moved to the Queens Room to recover. From
that day on that was my room in the Hotel...Sad to see it has been pulled down. But after living here in Sweden for over 35 years l can see it's days we're numbered, without lot of money being spent on restoration...
