Minnie M. Mott had No. 8 Bethune Street built in 1895-96 as a five-story, L-shaped apartment house, a twin to No. 10 on the corner. Its second and third floors were run as a hotel in the last years of the 1800s. The building still has its original stoop and projecting roof cornice, which the corner house lost in later remodeling.
“The second and third floors were used as a hotel in the last years of the Nineteenth Century.”
