The Kirk Hotel - Syracuse, NY
The Kirk Hotel Building (the West Fayette side). This and other nearby buildings were owned at one time by William Kirk, a wagon maker who later became one of the wealthiest men in Syracuse after investing in railroad stock. The residential hotel was one of many hotels and boarding houses built in response to the thriving railroad activities in the area. Although most of the building was constructed around 1870, the top floor was added in 1910, and part of the facade fronting South Clinton Street was ornamented with Neo-Classical Revival elements of pressed metal. Fine brickwork and ornate window surrounds are architectural remains of this once Italianate building. Located in the Armory Square area at 127-29 West Fayette Street in Syracuse, NY. (S4/41)
