The illustration shows the Statler Hilton Hotel as a large red-brick building with a white base, flags flying along the facade, and cars parked at the curb. It presents the hotel as a downtown Cleveland landmark with the busy street front of a mid-century city hotel.
The Statler Hilton name dates to Hilton's 1954 purchase of the Statler hotel chain, which made the combined brand familiar to travelers across the country. In Cleveland, the hotel served as a downtown address for visitors and events.
