But from 1926 through the 1980s, it was the 2,000-room Hotel Taft, ?one of the premier tourist hotels in the city,? a New York Times article recalls. The Taft was famous for many reasons, however, the reason that stands out is, unfortunately, the number of suicides that took place there. In January of 1933, after calling the city desk at the Daily Mirror, 35-year-old phone operator Miss Catherine Mary Dietz told a staffer that she?d just taken ?36 tablets of poison? and was about to leap to her death from her room on the 18th floor, which she did, a moment later. In February, 40-year-old artist Charles Schomburg jumped from his 14th-floor room, leaving a note that read ?financial reverses have brought me to this point of despondency.? Seven years later, a Brooklyn surgeon registered under a fake name and overdosed. ?The body was found in bed clad in pajamas with the covers pulled it,? the Times wrote. A TV and theater actor also ended his life at the Taft. Philip Loeb (he played the father on The Goldbergs) OD?d there on sleeping pills in 1955.
