NAYP @ Hotel Northampton
The next NAYP Party with a Purpose will be at the Hotel Northampton on Thursday, September 9, 2010 from 5-8pm for the NAYP’s Third Birthday Party! If the weather cooperates, we’ll be outside on the Patio, but fear not, the Coolidge Park Café will work perfectly in the event of precipitation.
The Hotel Northampton will provide great appetizers and a cash bar.
The history of the Hotel Northampton begins with Lewis Wiggins, an entrepreneur who had a great interest in preserving the Colonial Revival theme when constructing the Hotel Northampton in 1927. An integral element of Wiggins’ concept was to achieve museum status for the hotel’s furnishings, and to this end he acquired antiques both for the hotel and for his own collection. Many of these antiques still grace the hallways, restaurants, and lobby. The collection was added to daily, and by 1937 Wiggins employed a full-time antiquarian curator with a staff of up to 15. Two staff members were assigned only to mingle with the guests and discuss the hotel and its antiques.
