☞ REMEMBER: E.L. Pigott's Hotel circa 1889

A photo from 1889 shows E.L. Pigott's Hotel somewhere around Morninside Park and 116th Street.  The countryside inn was either located by the lower level of the park or up on Morningside Heights but it is hard to tell from the photo on the actual location of the wood frame structure.  This lot would eventually make way for either a taller prewar development or townhouses by the turn of the century.
