The Mediterranean Revival-style Vinoy Park Hotel opened in 1925 at 501 5th Ave. and Beach Dr. in St. Petersburg, Fla. After providing service to the U.S. Army in World War II, the hotel closed in 1974. However, the Vinoy gained new life in the 1990s when it went through a luxury renovation and emerged as the Vinoy Renaissance St. Petersburg Resort & Golf Club.

As you will see by the entry at the bottom of this page, Carr used Warwick's cylinders for this pattern that the company bought after Warwick ceased production. The notes were made by Joy Bachman, wife of Wheeler Bachman (Carr's last president), and are part of the West Virginina Museum collection.
