Objects from the Prince Edward Hotel
12/20/2015 at 10:58 AM

I am hoping to find out what sort of objects people have held on to from the Prince Edward Hotel. I've noticed people posting in other threads about the hotel that they own things like chairs and room keys, so it would be nice to get a better sense of what is out there!

Prince Eddy

My mom and dad had a special memory of the Prince Eddy. They had the honour of dancing to the music of Oscar Peterson on their wedding day. Isn't that cool. He was just starting out and was performing there. Sadly, my mom passed on Friday, but we will remember this memory of them forever

A woodworking friend of mine had several (if not all) of the oak steps leading up to the "Oak Room" and he used to make beautiful plant stands made with pieces from the steps.

Not too many people in Brandon would be able to say the same. Oscar Peterson's band playing on their special day!

Condolences on your immense loss.

Room key

I picked up a room key at a yard sale years ago. I think I paid a buck for it.

Yes it must have been a very special day for them. Who knew he would be so famous.
And thank you for your wishes. Merry Christmas.

We have four chairs from one of the dining rooms. The chairs have been recovered but the wood is awesome. Nice memory to keep!
