Reply to comment by kuweiyox in Divine Lorraine Hotel by FGoose

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.
