NEW YORK | Salisbury Hotel 123 W 57th St | 16 FLOORS | 1929

I got to explore the belfry and tunnels and pipe organ workings of this old neo-gothic hotel and church in NYC built in 1929. There are 50 story buildings from 10 years later and perhaps earlier but in 1929 this 16 floor edifice was considered a skyscraper. The Salisbury Hotel and its attached neighbor Calvary Baptist Church were built right before the Great Depression struck, and so began a storied history which I documented in this video, including the United States' most famous pianist residing at the hotel and helping END THE COLD WAR. I interviewed the designer of the organ too and that and all the other info I dug up were super interesting to me, and I hope it is also to fellow am'historians, urbexers, and architecture enthusiasts. I plan to make more like this throughout lesser known city locations. If you have any recommendations let me know! Enjoy -

Unfortunately demolition is coming for Calvary Church.

Sadly, it will be replaced by this lame, glass box.
