Allerton Hotel for Women
The Allerton Hotel for Women, today known as Renaissance New York Hotel 57, is a hotel located at 130 East 57th Street in the New York City borough of Manhattan. It is a seventeen story brick, limestone, and terra cotta building designed by Arthur Loomis Harmon in 1920. It was built on the southwest corner of Lexington Avenue and 57th Street by the Allerton House Company at a cost of $700,000. It originally had stores on its ground floor.〔''Allerton Hotel To Cost $700,000'', ''The New York Times'', December 11, 1920, pg. 23.〕 The hotel intended to accommodate six hundred business and professional women and also shelter young girls.〔''A Business Women's Hotel'', ''The New York Times'', February 1, 1920, pg. E12.〕 When completed in 1923, the Allerton Hotel had room for four hundred tenants. Its occupancy was filled prior to completion and there was a long waiting list. After opening it was so popular that another establishment of its kind was anticipated.〔''Expansion Of Trade On Lexington Avenue'', ''The New York Times'', March 11, 1923, pg. REA2.〕
