| abstract | - The Willard Hotel was formally founded by Henry Willard when he leased the six building rooming houses in 1847, combined them into a single structure, and enlarged it into a four-story hotel he renamed the Willard Hotel. The present 12-story structure, designed by famed hotel architect Henry Janeway Hardenbergh, opened in 1901. It suffered a major fire in 1922 which caused $250,000 ($3,522,366 as of 2015), in damages. The Willard family sold its share of the hotel in 1946, and due to mismanagement and the severe decline of the area, the hotel closed in 1968. After a receivership sale, the Willard was subsequently restored to its turn-of-the-century elegance and an office-building contingent was added. The hotel was thus re-opened amid great celebration on August 20, 1986. In the late 1990s, the hotel once again underwent significant restoration.
