Then & Now: Do you know where this is?
Sigmund Freud slipped into this Worcester hotel soon after arriving in the city for a series of lectures at Clark University.
The noted psychoanalyst traveled to America from Vienna in September 1909. He was accompanied by Carl Jung and other academics.
For much of the visit, Freud stayed at the Downing Street home of G. Stanley Hall, the president of Clark and founder of the American Journal of Psychology. But on the first night in Worcester, Freud and his colleagues stayed at the Standish Hotel, pictured in this week's Then photo, from 1965.
The Standish was among the many independent hotels that dotted Worcester in the early 1900s. Apartments took up some of the building.
The stately, five-story building was originally owned by Charles Prentice. Generations of his wealthy family lived in an adjacent mansion.
The Standish Hotel went out of business in the 1960s, but the building remains, now apartments. Actually, part of the building remains. A large section of the building, including the main door, pictured here, was torn down to make way for parking.
