2024 Route 66 - La Posada Hotel (Winslow, AZ) - 10/2/2024

From the La Posada website: "The National Trust for Historic Preservation found out about La Posada’s peril and added it to their endangered list - where it came to the attention of Allan Affeldt. But La Posada was never for sale. Allan Affeldt purchased it from the Santa Fe Railway after learning that the property was in danger. He visited the hotel in 1994 and decided to help local preservationists save it. This daunting task entailed negotiating for three years with the railroad and resolving various legal, environmental, and financial obstacles. He established La Posada LLC to take on the enormous risk and complexity of the estimated $12 million restoration. Allan and his wife Tina Mion moved in April 1, 1997. Daniel Lutzick became the third partner and originally, the General Manager (now Special Projects Manager)."
