Hotel Wolcott
Hotel Wolcott

The Hotel Wolcott at 4 West 31st Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues in the Midtown East neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, United States was built between 1902 and 1904 by developer William C. Dewey and was designed by the prominent architect John H. Duncan, who employed a bold French Beaux-Arts style combined with French Neo Classicism. The hotel was named after Henry Roger Wolcott, a businessman, politician, and philanthropist. Before it was even completed, the building was leased by Dewey to James H. Breslin, a prominent hotelier of the time, for three years. Nonetheless, Dewey had difficulty with the financing for the building: unable to purchase steel locally, he imported it from Europe, which caused an unusually long construction period, which in turn made it difficult for Dewey to pay his creditors. In early 1905 The American Mortgage Company repossessed the building, which was sold at auction. Breslin's lease remained, but the hotel passed through the hands of a series of owners in the following decades. The hotel was popular with travelers, but also housed many permanent residents, including dancer Isadora Duncan and Doris Duke, the heiress. Other prominent guests of the hotel included Edith Wharton and Henry Miller, and Buddy Holly and the Everly Brothers stayed there while recording at Beltone Studios, which was in the building. The hotel also hosted events such as the meeting where Col. Jake Ruppert and Col. Tillinghast Huston purchased the New York Yankees in 1914 and Fiorello La Guardia's inauguration ball in 1938.On December 20, 2011 the hotel was designated a New York City landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission.In 2020, the hotel become a transitory home for anyone who is homeless upon their release from jail or prison. The hotel is almost entirely staffed by formerly incarcerated people, and is part of the Exodus Transitional Community program.

WINS-FM

WINS-FM (92.3 MHz) is a radio station licensed to New York, New York and owned by Audacy, Inc. WINS-FM simulcasts an all-news radio format branded as "1010 WINS"; with the call sign phonetically pronounced as "wins". The station's studios are located in the Hudson Square neighborhood in Manhattan and its transmitter is located at the Empire State Building. WINS-FM also broadcasts in HD Radio. Originally the FM adjunct to WMCA, this station has featured a series of contemporary music, rock, hot talk and alternative rock formats from 1975 to 2022. As the home of disco-formatted WKTU, this station overtook WABC as the top-rated hit music station in the late 1970s. Becoming "K-Rock" WXRK in 1985, Howard Stern was hired as morning host, with his talk show eventually becoming nationally syndicated via owner Infinity Broadcasting Corporation. WXRK's format varied between different iterations of rock, including classic and alternative rock, until Stern's highly publicized departure for Sirius Satellite Radio forced a relaunch as WFNY, the flagship of CBS Radio's Free FM hot talk format, in 2006. WFNY's failure resulted in the station reverting to rock in 2007 as WXRK with holdover morning hosts Opie and Anthony, but again flipped to Top 40 as "92.3 NOW" in 2009. In a bid to rejuvenate ratings, the station was rebranded "92.3 AMP FM" WBMP in 2014. The day that CBS Radio's Reverse Morris Trust merger into Entercom (now Audacy, Inc.) closed in November 2017, WBMP was relaunched as alternative WNYL. On October 27, 2022, the station switched to a full-time simulcast of WINS, one of the two all-news stations in Audacy's New York portfolio.

The Wilbraham
The Wilbraham

The Wilbraham at 282–284 Fifth Avenue or 1 West 30th Street, in the NoMad neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, was built in 1888–90 as a bachelor apartment hotel. Its "bachelor flats" each consisted of a bedroom and parlor, with bathroom but no kitchen; the communal dining room was on the eighth floor. The building's refined and "extraordinarily well detailed" design in commercial Romanesque revival style – which owed much to the Richardsonian Romanesque developed by H.H. Richardson – was the work of the partners David and John Jardine. The Real Estate Record and Guide in 1890 called it "quite an imposing piece of architecture".The building is eight stories under a verdigris copper-covered mansard roof, with penthouses and basements, as a result of changes made during its construction. It is clad in Philadelphia brick and brownstone from quarries in Belleville, New Jersey, with wrought- and cast iron. Steel replaced structural cast iron after the foundations were already in place. The building was commissioned as a real estate investment by the prominent Scottish-American jeweler William Moir. At the time the brownstone-fronted houses along this stretch of Fifth Avenue were being sold by the rich, who were rebuilding, often in more palatial fashion, farther north, in the part of Fifth Avenue that overlooked Central Park, just coming into its first maturity. Still, the neighborhood remained fashionable for clubs, hotels and the first blocks of "French flats". The fashionable purveyors of china and glass Davis Collamore & Co. leased two floors of showrooms.In 1934–35 the Wilbraham's apartments were remodeled to include kitchens, a mark of changed social habits and gas cooking. It remains in residential use.In 2004 the Wilbraham was designated a New York City Landmark. In 2018 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
