Monday Brownstoner received a tip that the Bossert Hotel -- "Brooklyn's Waldorf Astoria" -- at 98 Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights has been sold for $90 million.
But Tuesday Richard Devine, a spokesperson for the Watchtower organization (also known as the Jehovah’s Witnesses), was "emphatic" when he told the Brooklyn Eagle, “The Bossert has not been sold.”
He said that Brownstoner never called him about the sale. (NOTE: Read Brownstoner's comment below.)
But wait: When the Eagle called Robert Levine of RAL Development Services, said to be the purchaser of the hotel, a receptionist told the Eagle that Levine “is at the Bossert now.”
The tale grows tangled ...
The Grand Foyer of the hotel is still on this weekend's Brooklyn Heights House Tour.
