Owner was Charles Pierre Casalasco, born in Corsica in 1879. In 1930 the Hotel Pierre at 5th Avenue at 61st Street, opened for business as a 700 rooms Hotel. He wants the design of a French Chateau with a tall Copper Tower at that time -
In 1932 the Great Depression, caused Charles Pierre to file bankruptcy, and than sadly, die in 1934 -
In 1938 the Oil Tycoon, John Paul Getty bought the Pierre for 2.5 million, some people had money than, like today, in the Depression, and in 1959 the Hotel Pierre became a cooperative with permanent residents assuming ownership -
Me - Dominique deAnfrasio, the Salon owner - for 25 years working at the Salon in the Hotel Pierre – making our quest feeling good and looking beautiful – from hair up-dos, to hot towel shave. It’s been 16 months the Hotel is still closed for remodeling –
Another Depression 2009 – funny ! Think about ! 1930 plus 2009 = 7 a lucking number -
Now ! I understand, Jack Nicholson the actor in Shinning – went mad in the Hotel business – maybe he didn’t see the lucking number 7 -
We are going to opening the Pierre this year – and we are all going to make money again, I am not forgetting my lucking number -
