The Astor Apartment House - St. Regis Hotel

The 'Astor Apartment House' designed by Trowbridge & Livingston c. 1901 at Fifth Avenue and East 55th Street in New York City.  Most will recognize this as the St. Regis Hotel, which it became by the time it opened in 1904.  The sketch suggests the building was originally intended as a high end apartment building and at some point was converted to a hotel (Astor had originally intended to build houses on the site).  When it opened the NYTimes called it "the most richly furnished hotel in America" and cost $5,500,000 to build and furnish.  Guests who could afford the $125 a day room charge were treated to numerous modern luxuries including a $300,000 air filtration system that removed a barrel of dust a day.  Click HERE for more on the St. Regis Hotel and HERE to see it on google street view.  Image from Architectural Record, 1901.

The Palace Hotel

 The Palace Hotel designed by Trowbridge & Livingston c. 1909 at 2 New Montgomery Street in San Francisco, California.  The hotel replaced the c. 1875 Palace Hotel which was demolished after the 1906 earthquake.  In 1954 it was sold to Sheraton Hotels and until 1989 operated as the Sheraton-Palace Hotel.  They have since dropped the Sheraton brand and it is once again the Palace Hotel.  Click HERE to see the Palace Hotel on google street view.
