Campus Inn Heading For 14 Stories: Amid a profusion of construction materials, the Campus Inn Motor Hotel is beginning its 14-story rise into the air. The photo, taken from the read of the hotel, which fronts on E. Huron near St. State, shows the University's Harris Hall at the left and the roof of the First Methodist Church in the background. The 215-room hotel is expected to cost $4 million when finished next summer. Like many construction projects here, its completion date has been set back.

"Sidewalk Superintendent": Mayor Cecil O. Creal was among dozens of "sidewalk superintendents" who today watched a crane equipped with a clam bucket "chew down" a S. Fourth Ave. portion of the old Allenel Hotel. It will be replaced with a 12-story, $4,000,000 motor hotel, containing 200 guest rooms. Creal has been a staunch supporter of a new downtown hotel and threw city support toward getting the 12-story one. A 150-car municipal carport will be built adjacent to the hotel and near the point the crane is pictured. The new hotel - to be called the Ann Arbor Inn - is scheduled to be completed in November, 1965.

The rearmost portion of the old Allenel Hotel is being razed by hand on S. Fourth Ave. to detach the old hotel from an adjacent building to prevent vibration carry-through. Most of the remainder of the hotel will be demolished by steel ball and "clam" bucket. The hotel is being razed to make way for a new, $3,000,000 one 10 stories high.

Main Dining Area: A Cathedral-style ceiling with massive "X" beams of wood give the new, $500,000 Weber's restaurant's main dining area an air of drama. But warm color tones, the warmth of dark-stained wood and cantilevered light shelves also help give this area a feeling of cosiness. Weber's formally opens Tuesday, the first day of a three-day grand opening event. The restaurant is at 3050 Jackson Ave.
