Mills House No. 1: 1905
New York circa 1905. "Mills House No. 1, Thompson and Bleecker Sts." Designed as a "hostel for poor gentlemen," the building had 1,560 tiny rooms that rented for 20 cents a night. 8x10 glass negative, Detroit Publishing Co. View full size.
In Today's Money
That twenty cents of 1905, would be between five and six dollars in 2012. Which would still be ridiculously cheap for a night's lodging in The Big Apple.
D.O. Mills
Philanthropist Darius Ogden Mills (1825-1910) was the man behind the Mills Building. It opened on November 1, 1897 more on the opening here.
Ahh, the Village Gate
Lots of great jazz performed in this building.
