The Times Square Hotel is located in New York, New York. The building was built in 1922 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 4, 1995.
History and description[edit]
Built by the developer Henry Claman in 1922, as president of the West Forty-eighth Street Realty Company. Claman had purchased from the Charles A. Christmas estate some buildings that had been at the corner of 43rd Street and 8th Avenue and added them to a lot Claman already owned on 43rd.[2] It was originally called the Claman Hotel (catering to single men). The hotel was soon acquired by the Manger Brothers, who changed the name to the Times Square Hotel in 1923, with one floor reserved for women.
A partnership headed by Arthur Schwebel ran the building from 1962 to 1981. In 1963, Shwebel changed the name of the hotel to the 'Times Square Motor Hotel,' adding the word 'Motor 'because there was a need for moderately priced hotel accommodations with free parking.'[3]
