Chelsea Hotel Historian Weighs In On The 125th Anniversary

Chelsea Hotel historian Sherill Tippins has written in to provide us with this fascinating tidbit that we hadn’t known before:

      "I just rediscovered this little factoid while editing Part I of my book:
       The Chelsea Hotel’s birthdate (the day it opened and residents began moving in) is Oct. 1, 1884."

So, the 125th anniversary of the opening of the Hotel will be on Oct 1, 2009.

    Wait, you mean that “curator/owner” David Elder could have actually researched the chelsea hotel’s opening date before holding his sad little photo exhibit six months early? He must be very anxious to find some friends…probably a premature ejaculator, too…
