Just a quick, fun post. I was watching Pawn Stars and a guy walked in with a canceled check signed by Carlo Gambino in 1962. It was from S.G.S. Associates, and you could see the address on the check: 141 East 44th Street. I Google Earthed it…The Fitzpatrick Grand Hotel. (Flag of Ireland).
When was that converted into a hotel? Was that an office building before? Otherwise how could a corporation operate out of a hotel?
I couldn't find out much online about the history of the building, so I called the hotel directly and you are exactly right. They informed me the hotel took over the space in 1998, and before that it was an office building. Thanks so much for reading!
Nice post. I saw Pawn Stars as well. I'm working across the street from this building.
Funny That there is another for sale for $2499.00. Rick got his for $500.00. See for yourself http://www.historyforsale.com/html/prodetails.asp?bw=1&documentid=283128
