Beautifully written and researched article! The themed exhibition concept is so fun. Your note about wanting to find color photos led me to track down this book "Hallmark: A Century of Caring" on the Internet Archive that has color photos of the staircase and the exterior on p. 146: https://archive.org/details/hallmarkcenturyo0000rega/page/146/mode/2up?q=%22hallmark+gallery%22 It also mentions that Stone designed one of the Hall's department store locations in KC. So cool!

Oh, amazing! I was wondering if I should order a copy of that book to see but I didn’t think of checking the Internet Archive for it. Thank you so much! I’ve ordered it now and will add these photos in the next few days.

This article feels like a slippery slope of falling into any of these exhibitions. Thank you.
