English: Placed next to the entrance of the Hotel Statler in downtown Buffalo, New York is this memorial plaque to the hotel's eponymous founder, as seen in January 2023. The bronze tablet comprises a portrait bust by noted sculptor Jeno Juszko as well as an elegy in "tribute to his greatness as hotel builder and hotel keeper and in testimony of continuing fidelity to his golden rule of service", which rule is quoted at the bottom. The plaque - a gift of the New York State Travelers' Association in recognition of what president William H. Jacobson described as the "devot[ion of] his life to bettering the conditions of the traveling public" - was unveiled shortly after his death in a January 1929 ceremony attended not only by about 75 association members but also Buffalo mayor Frank X. Schwab, District Attorney Guy B. Moore, and about a half-dozen representatives of Statler Hotels' Board of Directors. A native of Somerset County, Pennsylvania, Statler moved to Buffalo shortly before the turn of the century, by which time he had already begun working his way up the rungs of the hospitality industry. The first hotel he owned outright was located downtown in a now-demolished Art Nouveau-style building at the corner of Washington and Swan Street (on the present site of Sahlen Field); the even larger and more luxurious Statler on Niagara Square where the plaque is located was his second Buffalo property, erected in 1923. By the time of his death, the Statler chain counted seven properties stretched between Boston and St. Louis. |
