NYC, Times Square, 1915

Times Building in center, Hotel Rector (left), Hotel Astor (right), and Astor Theatre. The Times Building was completed in 1904 to serve as the new headquarters of The New York Times. The Times stayed in the building for less than 10 years before moving to a new building on 229 West 43rd Street. Hotel Astor was in operation from 1904-67. The 35,000 square feet hotel was built in two stages, in 1905 and 1909-10, by the same architects in the same style. The structure occupied an entire city block at a reported total cost of $7 million. The Hotel Claridge was a 16 story building on at the southeast corner of Broadway and 44th Street. Originally known as the Hotel Rector, it was built of brick in the Beaux-arts style in 1910-11. It operated for 61 years until it was demolished in 1972. The Astor Theatre was located at 1537 Broadway, at West 45th Street and designed by architect George W. Keister. It was demolished in 1982 to make way for the Marriott Marquis Hotel.
