Chandeliers that graced the Grand Ballroom of the Palmer House for more than 80 years have been taken down and are lined up Tuesday awaiting restoration. The 23 chandeliers, each with nearly 5,000 Czechoslovakian crystals plus more than 1,000 other parts, will be hand cleaned and polished. Once restored, the chandeliers will be rehung in the renovated hotel.
