The lot of land the hotel was built on was previously occupied by the homes of two Astor siblings. A feud between the son of one of the two brothers and his aunt next door over who was the true "Mrs. Astor" —his aunt or his wife— led William Waldorf Astor to demolish his father's home upon his death. On the site he built the Waldorf Hotel to spite his aunt, Mrs. Caroline Schermerhorn Astor. Having this commercial building next door now overshadowed the mansion of his aunt. Eventually she was forced to move uptown and her son, Jacob Astor IV razed his mother's home and built the Astoria Hotel to compete with the Waldorf. Soon the two cousins saw the folly of their competition and decided to join the two hotels to become the Waldorf-Astoria.Jimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05027786373775510140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778626287556834261.post-25221921439425006322015-04-17T08:43:38.407-07:002015-04-17T08:43:38.407-07:00Wonderful!
