An interior shot of the Westbrook Hotel is pinned to a corkboard. The Hotel opened in 1910 and was at it's busiest during the oil boom in the early 1900s. The picture shows the extravagant lobby and the main staircase. The second floor balcony overlooks the front desk. In the center of the lobby is a statue of a woman, The Golden Goddess. The statue was said to bring luck to wildcats and oilmen.
