Former Concourse Plaza Hotel which was designed c. 1923 by Maynicke & Franke with Paul Revere Henkel. Its guests included President Harry S. Truman and Yankee stars from Babe Ruth to Billy Martin, became a home for families in the 1960s. Its deteriorating grandeur led John Cassavetes to shoot scenes there for the 1980 film "Gloria".

Eventually, the hotel, including its grand ballroom, was gutted, and it is now a home for the elderly.
