  • The Plaza Manor Hotel initially appeared in the Green Book in the form of an advertisement alerting potential patrons of its close proximity to transportation hubs (“5 minutes to bus and railroad terminals”), amenities included at the hotel (“hot and cold water, steam heat, meals served”), and affordable pricing (“Rates--$2.00 & $2.50 single, $4.00 for a double”).1
