Indeed The Hurzler DOES HAVE Creaky Old Wooden Hall Floors “ Creaking All the Way“
….[The washroom is] “ ….at the other end of a long corridor of the same dark wood, floorboards creaking all the way.“
Hotel Hurzler, Laurel, MT. Be sure to note the series of transoms over each door to each room door, in progression< all the way down the corridor.
….Mr. Guenthner, seen in the doorway, later showed me how multi-layers of old newspapers, had been placed under the rubber runner (mat) the entire length of the corridor. This would inexpensively and effectively cushion heavy footsteps and absorb sound. He lifted a portion of this mat and carefully showed me one of the news pages. He offered me a specimen, dated ~1935, which I have in my files.
….Like many persons mentioned in ZMM as having Quality, Mr. Guenthner clearly cares about this old structure and the things he does in his life.
….Quality (capital Q) is mentioned 403 times in ZMM, quality (lower case q) 72 times.
