HISTORY OF THE HOTEL.
The Hotel Royal was built more than twenty
five years ago. 1t was formerly kept by Messrs.
Peris Il Butler, but Mr.. Mears leased it thir-
teen years ago. The house was the home of
many persons In the theatrical profession, and
was patronized chiefly by transients for a
night. Many families made it, however, their
permanent place of residence. The elaborate
restaurant was literally patronized by the class
OF people who kept late hours in the upper
portion OF the tenderloin district. The build
ing was owned by LYMAN Israel, a furniture
dealer in the bowery.
