Who got the lease in 1908? First it says "Saxe leased the building to Frank A. Archambault in August 1908 for 21 years at $65,000 a year," then the next paragraph starts with "Albert R. Keen sold the hotel's lease in November 1910 to California hotelier Elmer F. Woodbury for $150,000, with 19 years remaining on the lease." Was it Archambault or Keen?
