A New Yorker ad from 1931
This ad fascinates me for all sorts of reasons. “A modern hotel for modern women,” “Overlooking East River, in the new residential zone,” “crosstown bus,” and “room, bath single $12 up per week” all evoke a New York City of a different time and place. The illustration shows women socializing, but it appears most of the women who lived at the Panhellenic were working women. More on the Panhellenic/Beekman Tower (Panhellenic)/Beekman Tower Hotel can be found on the links to the right.
