Description
English: Caption: "HOLT'S NEW HOTEL. (Corner of Fulton & Water Street.)"

Text (Fay and Dakin), p. 41.

Holt's Hotel, later operated as the United States Hotel, opened in 1832 at 200 Water Street, occupying the entire block front to Pearl Street on the southwest side of Fulton Street. According to Landau and Condit, "…Holt's should be deemed the forerunner of the modern hotel in New York City rather than the later, much better known Astor House (1832-36), which is usually accorded that distinction."
