Divine Intervention
The Sale of storied hotel recalls legacy of Father Divine
The sale of the Divine Lorraine by New York developer Tony Goldman has the Inquirer waxing nostalgic about Father Devine, the interesting one-time owner of the hotel, but doesn't mention who bought the hotel. I hope they know what they were doing, each time I drove past the Divine Lorraine the past couple of years I was excited remembering, designer and one-time Cindy Crawford sidekick, Todd Oldham was reportedly to design the restoration for Goldman. I guess this never came to pass, but the impressive building at Broad & Fairmount deserves a fresh start.
