Albert Hotel, NY

“Meet me in the bar at the Albert Hotel,” Jimmy Stewart instructs Raymond Burr in Hitchcock’s 1954 thriller, Rear Window. Then, as for decades, the hotel occupied a vibrant, iconic place in the cultural life of New York’s Greenwich Village. From its opening in 1887, the Albert was home, hotel and hang-out for generations of artists, activists, writers, poets and musicians. Mark Twain lectured at the Albert. Hart Crane wrote his famous poem, The Bridge, in its rooms. Thomas Wolfe styled his fictional Hotel Leopold on the Albert. Anaïs Nin was a guest.

Albemarle Club

The club opened on 29 May 1874 with the aim to be available to both men and women. It formed under a committee formed of both sexes, under the presidency of James Stansfeld, Member of Parliament for Halifax. It had initially set the limit for members at 600, with some 350 elected two weeks prior to opening. The club came in for criticism because of its progressive view of women's rights, but also saw supporters join its ranks such as Edward Cortenay MP.
