Ghostly Maidens on the Roof

Visitors from the Overlook Hotel maybe?

Look closely

on the long side of the building for the Hotel Vermont sign( paint or brick?) one floor below the iron balcony, it is visble on both google and the original photo.

A pair of fine-feathered friends....

... are roosting on the roof.

Sidewalk skylights?

I used to work in a department store building that had ones like those in front of Hotel Vermont and remember the distinctive sound and shadows of pedestrians passing by above. I always wondered if they had a specific name, or if they were just known as sidewalk skylights. Though there were many old examples in downtown San Diego at that time (early 1960s) I don't think there are any now.

[Sidewalk skylights are among Shorpy's most popular street scene sightings, joining arc lamps, precarious building-ledge people and drug store rubber goods signs. -tterrace]

Roof

I wonder what those two ladies are doing up on the roof.

Still there at Main & St Paul
