  From the Roof Top Cafe waiters to the machinists in the subterranean power plant, thousands of people helped build the Hotel Astor and helped keep it running. A similar army of masons, woodworkers, chefs, waiters, busboys and janitors made the Hall of the American Indian succeed, but there are a few individuals who stand out in the history of the Hall and in its transference to the University of Virginia.
