The Hotel Narragansett opened in 1904 at this location on Broadway
near 93rd Street.
1913-14 advertisements in the New York Herald referred to the
Hotel as the Bonta-Narragansett (Arthur Knox Bonta, 1857-1919,
proprietor): "Handsomely Furnished Suites of One or More Rooms,
with Bath."
(Click
for ad in 1914).
Like many of New York's smaller residential hotels of an earlier
era, the Narragansett converted its operations to accommodate tenants
supported by welfare in the 1950/60's.
The hotel continues to operate today in that capacity.
