The New England Hotel was constructed about 1844 (The Great Metropolis or New York in 1845, copyrighted 1844, indicates 111 Broadway as New England House). It was demolished in 1852 to make way for the Old Trinity Building. About the early 1860s, the Moss Hotel at 30 Bowery was sold and renamed New England Hotel.
