   | | Hotel Breakers: Only the main structures of the Hotel Breakers exist today from when it was originally built in 1905. The new Breakers East and Breakers Tower stand on the site of most of the original guestrooms. Also the pool in front of the hotel now replaces the white sand beach and Lake Erie, which used to welcome crowds of bathers. |
|   | | Hotel Breakers Lobby: The dimly lit lobby of the Hotel Breakers has seen its share of change over the years. In 1935, the intricate banisters that were original to the lobby were covered with plaster when the lobby was modernized. Also the massive stain glass windows displayed in the lobby, were moved from the Cedars Hotel into the Hotel Breakers. Nonetheless, the tin ceiling and original circular chairs remain a part of this beautiful historic lobby. |
|   | | Hotel Breakers Rotunda: The focus of the Hotel Breakers is the massive rotunda, which rises an amazing five-stories. Ninety-five years later the area is outlined in lights, like it was in 1905, with a massive urn from the 1904 Worlds Fair standing gracefully in the center. The employee dorms on the forth and fifth floor of the rotunda, are what most the rooms in the hotel originally resembled with no air conditioning or in-room bathrooms. |
|   | | Bon-Air Annex (Hotel Breakers): In 1925, the Hotel Breakers saw the addition of the Bon-Air Annex. The exterior of the structure amazingly has only minor alterations in its appearance. Inside this wing, a drop ceiling has been added to cover the original ceiling, which has pipes running along them. |
|   | | Hotel Breakers entrance: The Hotel Breakers entrance first greeted guests in 1959 when the entrance was given a facelift with a colonial look. Since then, the hotel's front has been seen only minor changes. Some noticeable changes are the addition of a window in the center of the building and American flags. |
|   | | Grand Pavilion: It's hard to distinguish the Grand Pavilion, built in 1888, from the 1920's postcard to today. The ornate, white veranda on the right of the postcard has been lost to time. The two entrances have been covered in brick since then and have more of a colonial appearence. | |
