New London, CT 2014
This is the entrance to what was once the Mohican Hotel, one of the finest hotels in Connecticut. It was built originally by Frank Munsey to house his magazine publishing offices in 1896. When that failed he converted the building into a hotel. The building was designed by William B Tuthill who also designed Carnegie Hall in New York City. Today the building provides housing for the elderly.
What at great looking entrance. I've always liked to looks for Romanesque architecture. There's lots of it around Chicago.
ReplyDeleteA great entrance!
ReplyDeleteI just googled the hotel and found a site of historicbuildingsct with some interesting comments about memories of the hotel.
