Murchison, and for its role in the early twentieth-century hotel district that developed north of Madison Square. Its facades and surviving ground-floor public spaces typify hotels built for visitors seeking a quiet place to stay in New York City.","narrative":"Occupying an L-shaped lot between East 27th and East 28th Streets just north of Madison Square, this 12-story hotel was designed by Beaux-Arts-trained architect Howard Greenley in 1904. An eastern addition, designed by Greenley and Kenneth M. Murchison, followed in 1912-14. The brick and terra-cotta facades rise from rusticated limestone bases and end in deep copper cornices. Inside, the former lounge, vestibule, elevator lobby and palm room keep ornate plaster ceilings, columns, mosaic floors and some murals, though the restaurant, cafe and bar were stripped by a previous owner. The hotel reflects the growth of a middle-class hotel district near Madison Square, which followed the 1904 opening of a nearby subway station and the rise of New York as a tourist destination. At the time of listing, restoration work was removing later intrusions and converting the upper floors to social housing. The building was recognized for its architecture and its link to entertainment and recreation.","period_of_significance":"1904-14","architect_builder":"Greenley, Howard; Murchison, Kenneth M.","architectural_style":"Late 19th & 20th Century Revivals: Beaux-Arts & Georgian Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Listed as vacant; rehabilitation and restoration were underway at the time of nomination, including conversion of the upper floors to social housing.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:51.316594-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/99000195.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/99000195/1a485b88cc-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/99000195/1a485b88cc-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Americasroof at English Wikipedia","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Prince-george-hotel.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Americasroof at English Wikipedia</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Prince-george-hotel.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75319831","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11700542"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/manhattan/prince-george-hotel-99000195/"}
