Within the Conference Center are three additional murals created by artists A. Karoly and L.P. Szanto: “Col. John Tayloe’s Estate 1723,” “In the Virginia Hunting Territory,” and “Formal Garden, Carters Grove.” Painted on large rectangular canvases, these murals depict historic Virginian scenes in the same impressionist style as the ones in the buffet of the Regency Room. (National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: Hotel Roanoke 9).

About the artist:
Andrew Karoly (1893-1978), was born in Veranno, Hungary. After World War I, he traveled throughout Europe “producing etchings and paintings of architectural views of city landmarks” (“Andrew Karoly.” Fine Prints). Karoly came to New York City around 1920. There he worked with the Works Progress Administration (W.P.A.) who commissioned him to do public murals in collaboration with another Hungarian-born artist, Louis Szanto. Both Karoly and Szanto have made collaborative “murals for the 1933 Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago and for Bellevue Hospital in New York” (“Andrew Karoly.” Andrew Karoly | Artists | WOLFS Fine Paintings and Sculpture). Many of Andrew Karoly’s paintings and etchings can be found in many American collections today.
