Eddystone Bldg.

[msamslex]

Daughter had an appointment in Midtown this afternoon and saw the Eddystone name on the top of the bldg when we were on the way home. She was wondering about it so I thought I'd ask here. I couldn't tell her anything about it. She figured it was vacant from all the open windows. Any plans for it? Just asking out of curiosity. Thanks.

Here are a couple of Eddystone references. Maybe one of these served as inspiration for the Hotel name.

Building was sold in August of 2010 to an entity presumed to be related to the Illitch Family.
