Clarendon Hotel, Brooklyn

Another of Jigg’s favorites was the Clarendon Grill at the Clarendon Hotel, located at 284 Washington Street (now Cadman Plaza East). This 1890 hotel, designed by Brooklyn architect J.G. Glover, replaced the first Clarendon, which was damaged in the deadly Brooklyn Theater fire of 1876. The Clarendon, the old Brooklyn Eagle building, and numerous other buildings were torn down in the 1950s to make way for Cadman Plaza.
