We returned to the Cabana to explore the basement, warehouse and some of the finer points of the rooms and roof.

 

The Basement was pitch black, wet and breezy. The Warehouse was less breezy and wet but about as dark. All things considered, it was a good mix of moisture, light and breeze...

 

The Leer Tower. Formerly known as the Cabana and before that, the Thomas Jefferson Hotel.

 

Opened to the public in 1929, it has been abandoned since 1982.

 

The Leer Tower features a moorage mast which was designed to tie down zeppelins and balloons at the time of its completion.

 

Twenty floors of fun, ballrooms, flooded basements, rooftop views, executive suites, offices, and broken televisions.
