The Wilbraham, Apartment hotel in Midtown South Manhattan, US.

The nine-story Wilbraham building features rusticated blocks of New Jersey brownstone at lower stories and Philadelphia red brick on upper levels.

Scottish-American jeweler William Moir developed this residential structure between 1888 and 1890, during a period of substantial urban growth.

The Wilbraham served as a bachelor apartment hotel with 42 apartments and five servants' quarters, reflecting the social patterns of late 19th-century Manhattan.

The building occupies the northwestern corner of 30th Street and Fifth Avenue, maintaining both residential units and preserved architectural elements.

Original bachelor flats included bedrooms and parlors without kitchens, as residents shared a communal dining room on the eighth floor.
