Hotel New Netherland (later Hotel Netherland) was located at the northeast corner of Fifth Avenue and 59th Street, in Manhattan, in what is now the Upper East Side Historic District. Built in 1892-93 to a design by William H. Hume for William Waldorf Astor. It was 234 feet in height with 17 stories, among the first steel-framed buildings in the city. The Hotel Savoy at 709 Fifth Avenue and 59th Street was built 1891-92 by the architect Ralph S. Townsend. Construction costs were about $2 million and the decorations and furnishings of the banquet hall on the first floor alone cost $60, 000. The interiors took advantage of American society's fascination of things French. There were five public parlors on the second floor - one decorated in the Louis XIV, one in the "First Empire, " and three in Louis XVI decor. It was demolished 1925-26 and replaced by The Savoy Plaza Hotel which was demolished in 1966. Photographed by J.S. Johnston, 1894.
