EDITORS COMMENTS
This artists' impression showcases the proposed Hotel Commonwealth in New York City, USA, circa 1916. Occupying an entire city block at the intersection of Broadway, 55th Street, 56th Street, and 7th Avenue, this grand architectural vision was an ambitious plan for its time. The Hotel Commonwealth was designed to be a unique and groundbreaking establishment, offering a profit-sharing arrangement to its investors. This forward-thinking financial plan aimed to attract a diverse group of investors and foster a sense of community among them. The design of the hotel was a testament to the artistic and architectural prowess of the era. The impressionistic rendering reveals a stunning edifice with intricate details, ornate columns, and a grand entrance. The architects' vision for the Hotel Commonwealth was nothing short of spectacular, with the intention of creating a landmark building that would become a symbol of American innovation and prosperity. Sadly, the Hotel Commonwealth project did not come to fruition in the mid-1920s. Despite the promising plan and impressive design, various financial and economic factors led to its failure. Nevertheless, this artists' impression serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and ambition of the early 20th century, and the potential for groundbreaking ideas that could transform the urban landscape. This image, from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, invites us to imagine what could have been, and to appreciate the artistic and architectural vision that drove this ambitious project.
