NYFE Summary
Carpet manufacturer Elias S. Higgins commissioned the hotel as Broadway between Madison and Herald Squares became a center for hotels and entertainment. Its design borrowed from the townhouses and public buildings of Napoleon III’s Paris.
The upper windows change shape from floor to floor. Tall roof pavilions and decorated dormers create an uneven skyline above the marble walls. The street-level storefronts were substantially changed later.
