Hotel Kensington, Fifth Ave. near Washington Square (?), 1904
Originally private residences, the building on the southeast corner of Fifth Avenue and East Fifteenth Street in NYC became the New-York Club, then the Haight Mansion (part of which dated back to the early 1850s). In 1870, it was converted into the Haight House Apartments, offering hotel-like services. After a fire in the late 1890s, it reopened around 1901 as the Kensington Hotel. The building was likely demolished in 1906.
