Was is/was this building? Was it an actual hotel in the past? I think I saw something about it being apartments now, not sure.

When it was built in the late 1800s, the neighborhood was an upper middle class community and it was built for the rich as apartments. Sometime after the great migration it became a hotel run by father Divine and his church. Now it’s back to apartments.

They switched to short term rentals within The last 2 years and those who rented apartments long term have to leave.
