re: #220 HappyWarrior

Hey my great great grandpa’s parents owned a hotel too. Don’t know too much about it though since I imagine it was taken down when his siblings who never married passed away in the early 20’s.

Uncle John did pretty well anyway, selling the hotel in the 1920s before the Crash. I think he kept an interest in it, because his brother lived at the hotel for a time in the 1940s. John was able to retire in his early 50s, bought some property in the Catskills for a country home, and lived in a variety of Upper East Side apartments. He and his wife traveled a bit, too, sailing to Europe at least twice a year.

But if he had held on a little longer, he could have made even more dough. Weathering the Depression would have been a problem, though.
