White marble 6-story Albemarle Hotel, which was located at 1101 Broadway (also addressed as 1 West 24th Street), was built, and was replaced by a 16 story building in 1915. Built in 1860 and overlooking Madison Square, it was one of the largest hotels on the avenue in its day.
Note photo showing Albemarle Hotel in its article is a 4-5-6 or so story-building, which is supposed to be at 1101 Broadway (also addressed as 1 West 24th Street).
A webpage at PastVu, displays a photo from "mcny.org" Museum of the City of New York photo dated 1916 from mcny.org, showing a 16? or 14-story building, named Albemarle Building, but identified as being at Broadway & 24th. Per Google streetview, that building still stands in 2022, though modernized a bit, expanded up.
In Emporis, it is "10 Madison Square West", a 16 story building.[3] Possible also known as "Toy Center North" (where did that come from?)

- Carleton (Albemarle) Hotel 205 West 54th St shows photo of a different building. Okay this is different building? Odd side of W54th, at number 205. Search on "Albemarle Hotel" and on "Carlton Hotel".
It's an 11-story hotel. "In June 1901 Building Trades reported on plans filed by architects S. B. Ogden & Co. for yet another Manhattan hotel. This one, 75-feet wide on the north side of West 54th Street just off Broadway, was being built by prolific developer Andrew J. Kerwin, Jr. The journal noted “it will be eleven stories high, with a front of brick, granite, and Indiana limestone.” But what it found more impressive was the staggering cost—fully half a million dollars." / "Kerwin was jumping onto a hotel-building bandwagon. His was one of 46 hotels planned in 1901 in Manhattan, at an aggregate cost of $20,374,000. All but six of these were, like Kerwin’s, apartment hotels which provided full-time occupancy. As the Hotel Carlton rose at Nos. 203-205 West 54th Street, others sprouted in the blocks nearby—the Hotel Quentin at 208 West 56th, the Ramon at 338 West 57th, and three more at 221 West 54th, 118 west 57th, and 120 west 57th Street."[7]
Google Streetview imagery dated September 2021 shows the building with awning displaying "205" and "The Albemarle".
