The Beresford Hotel 1893
We are looking north along Central Park West then (known as Eighth Avenue), from 81st Street.
Before the Beresford apartment building was completed in 1929, the block was occupied by The Beresford Hotel built in 1889.
Stuff Nobody Cares About
A not so random collection of observations about things you should care about
My gggreat uncle, Theodore E Thomson was the architect for the The Beresford Hotel and I have his copy of the architectural drawings. So good to see an outside picture of the building at 1 W 81st Street (according to the 1900 & 1910 censuses). Members of the Thomson family lived there from the beginning until the 1920s.
We would love to see & feature those architectural drawings or any other material related to the opening or construction of any New York City building that Mr. Thomson was involved in. Please contact us if you’d be willing to share.
Were you able to access he architectural drawings of the Beresford? I would love to be able to see and read about it.
