South Street Seaport Museum, Harriet Onderdonk Building, 116-119 South Street, New York, New York County, NY
Summary
Significance: Presently known as Meyer's Hotel, this double brick building was designed by the prominent New York architect John B. Snook in 1873 for Mrs. Harriet S. Onderdonk and Mrs. H.L. Mann. Ten years later Mrs. Onderdonk sold the stores to Henry L. Meyer, liquor merchant who probably installed the Victorian carved bar that stands in the Paris Bar today. In 1903, Meyer converted the buildings' upper stories into small hotel rooms, now inhabited by retired fishmongers.
