Summary
[edit]
| Description | The Hotel Lenox, 140 North Street at Irving Place, Buffalo, New York, October 2012. Built in 1896 after a design by the firm of Loverin & Whelan, this oldest continually operating hotel in Buffalo is an eight-story Venetian Gothic building that was then at the heart of a district of luxurious mansions and indeed was itself quite the upscale address at the outset; notable early residents included an eighteen-month-old F. Scott Fitzgerald. Soon enough, however, the building was converted into a hotel; this was done in 1900, presumably in preparation for the rush of visitors predicted for the next year's Pan-American Exposition. At its height at the turn of the century, the hotel boasted an eight-story-high central dining room; a rooftop veranda with commanding views of downtown, Lake Erie, the Niagara River, and Canada; a cozy residential ambience, and famous guests as diverse as Aaron Copeland, Henry Fonda, Duke Ellington, Andres Segovia, Maria Tallchief, and Harry Belafonte. After seeing its luster gradually dim at the end of the 20th century and into the beginning of the 21st, its owners flirting with the idea of converting it back into luxury apartments, the deteriorating Hotel Lenox was purchased in 2005 and subjected to an extensive renovation; its restaurant was reopened the following year and today contains a combination of apartments and hotel units, with commercial tenants on the ground floor. |
