New York: Chelsea Hotel

The Celsea Hotel was built in 1883 as New York's first cooperative apartment complex. It was the tallest building in the city until 1902. After the Chelsea theater district migrated uptown and the neighborhood became commercialized, the residential building folded and in 1905 it was turned into a hotel. The hotel has been the home of numerous celebrities and the subject of books, films (Chelsea Girls, 1966) and music.
