Description
Hotel New Netherland (later Hotel Netherland) was located at the northeast corner of Fifth Avenue and 59th Street, in Manhattan, in what is now the Upper East Side Historic District. Built in 1892-93 to a design by William H. Hume for William Waldorf Astor. It was 234 feet in height with 17 stories, among the first steel-framed buildings in the city. It was classified as a luxury hotel, rather than one with apartment accommodations as it provided permanent accommodations to its residents, albeit without kitchens. Meals were served in the hotel's dining room, the Louis Sherry restaurant. Renamed the Hotel Netherland in 1908, the neo-Romanesque structure was razed in 1927, replaced by the Sherry Netherland Hotel. Photographed by Bain News Service, 1905-15.
