Morning View - Hotel Chelsea

The Hotel Chelsea is the most famous artists residence in New York City. Those having made their homes there include such luminaries as Mark Twain, Gore Vidal, Tennessee Williams, Arthur C. Clarke, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Janis Jopin, and pretty much anyone else who's ever been famous for anything. It has been memorialized in song by such artists as Joni Mitchell, Jefferson Airplane, The Ramones, Bon Jovi, Nico and many others. It's also rather well-known more recently as the place where Sid Vicious stabbed Nancy Spungen to death. Built in 1883, the 12-story Hotel Chelsea was the tallest building in NYC until 1902.
