In their own words: “Among other things, he is known for purchasing what is today called the Windsor Hotel in 1886. He renamed it to the 'Grand Coffee Palace' and ceremoniously burning the liquor license on its steps, famously pledging never to serve alcohol within its walls. The Windsor Hotel, despite coming very close to being demolished in the 1970s, still stands today.”
