Facade work over at the Minton's Supper Club in the former Cecil Hotel is still quickly progressing. The neon was taken down briefly at this corner of 118th and St. Nicholas Avenue but we noticed that everything has been installed again this week. Another design element to note is the decorative cast iron which have now been painted a rich maroon color and the embossed leaf motifs now have a nice contrasting color to them. This restoration appears to really keep with the spirit of the time period of the famous jazz club so we look forward to seeing what the interior will finally look like.
