The Grand seems to have had its controversial moments. This one was in April 2010. Hadn't realised the covers depict fake architecture. Do they still?

Yes it did cross my mind too Phil. Filming would have been late last year as it was screened in February. Viv.
Hi Phil here is another inside photo of the Grand Hotel. Carol
The scaffold structure is supported on built-up cantilevered beams which go through the window openings of the second floor...from Dave's photo's. The second floor windows have been removed and I can't see anything to stop the elements from getting inside...or pigeons for that matter. Maybe there is a barrier inside that can not be seen though. Anyway it seems possible that the second floor is in poor shape from the procedure at this time. There does not seem to be any work in progress from the photo's. I wonder if trucks are coming and going with materials. Is the whole thing in a state of limbo? Blow-up of Dave's photo below:
