Designed by architect Herbert Tullgren in Classical Revival style, the Astor Hotel was built in 1920 by developer Oscar Brachman for hotel tycoon Walter Schroeder.[1] The building was originally U-shaped in plan, but an L-shaped addition in 1925 made the building into the E-shape seen today.[2] The building has eight floors[3] and stands 102 feet (31 m) tall.[4]
