Healy's Hotel Closes Doors Amid Prohibition Costs
Prohibition and high rents force the closure of Healy's Hotel at 642 Washington Street. Attorney Courtland G. Morse says suspension follows the collapse of hope for a return of light beer and wines. Formerly Brigham's and later managed by Dennis M. Healy, the venue failed to attract patrons despite attempts to reinvent with cabaret and jazz. Employees are promised preferred creditor status and full payment.
