context_page_description: Lovejoy's Hotel was a New York City hotel from the 1830s through 1870. It was located at the corner of Park Row and Beekman Street in a six-story building in the Civic Center neighborhood of Manhattan. The Astor House hotel was opposite it.
context_section_description: The hotel closed in 1870 and was converted into offices. By now Park Row was dominated by newspapers, and subsequent tenants of the building included the New York Evening Mail and the Rural New Yorker.
  The building suffered some damage in the January 1882 fire that destroyed the former Potter Building (and former home of the New York World). But it remained standing until around 1888 or 1889.
