EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken around 1905, showcases the grandeur of the Hotel Netherland located on 59th Street and 5th Avenue in Manhattan, New York. The image, a dry plate or glass negative, captures the Neo-Romanesque facade of the hotel, which was a popular accommodation choice for travelers during the early 20th century. The building's intricate stonework and arched windows are accentuated by the contrast between the light and dark areas of the photograph. The Hotel Netherland was a prestigious establishment, owned by the Astor family, specifically William Waldorf Astor and his brother, Vincent Astor, who were prominent figures in American society at the time. The hotel's proximity to the Congressional Library and other notable institutions made it a desirable location for politicians, businessmen, and tourists alike. The photograph reveals a bustling scene on the sidewalk in front of the hotel, with men in suits and hats, and women in elegant dresses, making their way along the avenue. The image offers a glimpse into the history of hospitality in New York City and the United States during the early 1900s. Sadly, the Hotel Netherland was demolished in the mid-20th century, making this photograph an important record of a significant piece of American architectural history. The image is from the collection of Detroit Publishing Company, which was known for producing and distributing high-quality photographic views of American landscapes and cityscapes.
