I'm not sure, especially what was where in the 1970s. Possibly the Hotel Havana which would have been there then, it is a bit up the river from the main tourist area and small like 27 rooms. But I'm sure there are other properties that could fit that description also.
And 1976 would have been before either of those Marriott Hotels were there. The shorter one dates to 1979 and the taller one 1988. Rivercenter mall wouldn't have been there which the Taller one is attached to. But Joske's(Large Department Store) would have been there, It is that building on the Middle left, which was recently completely gutted and renovated, and now hosts a bunch of different things. Dave & Busters, H&M, an Aquarium, Lego Store, a food court, etc. I was never in Joske's but it must have been huge.
