My teacher needs me to find a certain building - the building is now a hotel and has the word ASTORIA on a part of it (not talking about the Waldorf-Astoria). He said it's located near 12th street and 7th and/or/between 8th avenue - and that's all he said. He also gave us a question to answer about it's history - so I would imagine it has some significance. I've tried looking everywhere but can't find such a building. Can anyone help? Thanks!
