Relics of a Bygone Era: Exploring the Hotel Manger/Madison features original postcards, pamphlets and photographs as well as actual pieces of the hotel. One of the highlights is a series of photographs showing the demolition of the hotel. The exhibit will remain open until Saturday, April 5th in the Members’ Gallery of the West End Museum.
The 500-room Hotel Manger opened at North Station in
August of 1930. Its design
was an example of the Moderne style of architecture, developed by Boston native
Louis Sullivan. Adjacent to Boston’s North Station and directly connected to
the Boston Garden, the Hotel Manger was a prominent and convenient destination
for celebrities, show-goers and other travelers.
