Hotel Bossert was once known as "the Waldorf-Astoria of Brooklyn". It was the site of the celebration of the Brooklyn Dodgers' only World Series championship.〔Ramirez, Anthony, (January 30, 2008), ("'Hotel Where Dodgers Celebrated a Title Is Up for Sale" ). ''The New York Times''. Retrieved 2008-01-30〕 ==Early history== The hotel was built in 1909 by Louis Bossert, a Brooklyn lumber magnate, at 98 Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights. It had an Italian Renaissance Revival-style exterior.〔 It was designed as an apartment hotel. 〔Linda Collins (2008-01-29), ("Brooklyn’s Fabled Hotel Bossert on Market; Watchtower Seeking Bids" ). ''Broolyn Daily Eagle''. Retrieved 2008-02-05〕 The design work was by Palmer & Hornbostel. During the 1920s, the Hotel Bossert was known for its Marine Roof, a two-level restaurant on the roof of the 14-story building that provided diners with a commanding view of Manhattan.〔 The hotel drew some attention in November, 1945, when Charles Armijo Woodruff, the 11th Governor of American Samoa, committed suicide by hanging himself in his room there. Just one month later, former Congressman Thomas F. Magner also died in the hotel. In the 1950s, the Bossert was the home of several Brooklyn Dodger players.〔 Following the Brooklyn Dodgers' win over the New York Yankees in the 1955 World Series, Dodgers fans gathered in the Bossert lobby and serenaded Dodgers' manager Walter Alston with "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hotel Bossert」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
