The Victory Hotel, which was built in Harriman (a town built for the Merchant Shipbuilding Corporation), had three-stories. It was of the Spanish Mission Style. There were approximately 500 rooms. It was built on the west side of Farragut Avenue between Harriman and Garfield Streets. The building was removed, following the end of World War I. Part of the hotel was reassembled in Whiting, New Jersey. It became a 54 room dormitory building at the Keswick Colony, an institution for the rehabilitation of alcoholics. The Victory Hotel was originally sold for $31,000 to Thomas Morch of Philadelphia. The dismantling was started in 1923.
