Abstract :
What began as a trickle has become routine for Joseph Kinney, the chief building engineer and unofficial historian for the Wyndham New Yorker Hotel, whom we profiled in November 2014. Several times a week, Kinney escorts visitors from around the world on a tour of the two hotel rooms and art deco surroundings where the father of alternating current power, Nikola Tesla, lived for the last 10 years of his life.
