Previously, the 113 Jane St. structure — built in 1908 — was the 25-cents-per-night American Seamen’s Friend Society Sailors’ Home and Institute. Four years later, when the Titanic sank, the ship’s survivors were housed within its red brick walls. The YMCA took over in 1944, and by the 1980s, the Jane West Hotel, as it became, had become a skid row of sorts.
In 2008, developers Sean MacPherson and Eric Goode gave it a chic upgrade into a downtown party destination and comparatively affordable short-term housing.
