Description: NEW YORK CITY - Broadway Central Hotel : The Grand Central Hotel, later renamed the Broadway Central Hotel, was a hotel at 673 Broadway, New York City. The Grand Central which opened in 1870, was designed by Henry Engelbert, and was commissioned by Elias S. Higgins, a local carpet manufacturer. The hotel's façade was reminiscent of Engelbert's Grand Hotel on Broadway and West 31st Street, which had also been commissioned by Higgins. Both of these hotels by Engelbert were characterized by elaborate mansards with dormers in the French Second Empire style, although the Grand Central Hotel was clearly the larger and more elaborate of the two. The Broadway Central Hotel was famous as the site of the murder of financier James Fisk in 1872 by Edward S. Stokes. The hotel collapsed on August 3, 1973, killing four residents and injuring at least twelve. This Undivided Back Era (1901-07) postcard is in good condition. The Platinachrome Co. N. Y.
