The building was later turned into an apartment complex. In 1979, following ownership by JCG Financial Company, Sunday Inn, Incorporated, tried to turn the building back into a hotel, but the residents sued and won the case. In 1988, the building was bought by May Wah International Enterprises of the People's Republic of China, who had planned to turn the buildingl into a business and cultural center. May Wah International Enterprises had renovated the interior but kept the original exterior of the hotel. Plans fell through for the company when United States-China relations deteriorated. Today, the building is owned by the Cherit Group, who has been in the process of renovating it since 2012.. Book. Book Condition: Collectible-Fine. Binding: No Binding
