The Roosevelt Hotel - Ocean City, Maryland (Paul McGehee)
[Hand-Signed]
$50.00

"The Roosevelt Hotel" by Paul McGehee. One of Ocean City's grand old hotels presided for many years over the Boardwalk at North Division Street. Owned by Mr. and Mrs. Elwood Fleming in the 1950s, as time went by it was eventually sold to Tony Russo, a hard-working gentleman from Sicily who came to this country in 1960 with a dollar in his pocket, and who only spoke his native Italian. He worked his way up through the restaurant business in the '60s and opened his first "Tony's Pizza" on 1st Street in 1962. In 1968, the nearby Roosevelt Hotel became available and the Russo family decided to try their hand at renovating and running the beautiful old building on the Boards...but as fate would have it, fire destroyed half of the structure in 1970. Undaunted, they kept the remaining half of the Hotel open for business and developed the remainder of the lot as a miniature golf course. A 1972 fire took out the remainder of the building, and, after a few years of opening some small shops along with the golf course, damage from a 1977 hurricane altered yet again the fate of the property and Russo's businesses. After razing everything, he built the iconic "Tony's Pizza" restaurant which stands today, with its famous rooftop deck watched over by a giant statue of Tony. One of the great success stories of Ocean City, and a restaurant well worth your visit...and to think that it all started as the old Roosevelt Hotel back in the day! "The Roosevelt Hotel" is faithfully reproduced from Paul's original color pencil artwork in a limited edition of 500 hand-signed prints. Print image size: 6 1/2" x 9 3/4". (Final shipping cost on this small print may indeed be less than actually displayed upon purchase, depending upon destination and weight.
