Among the guest rooms and
suites at Dylan, is one of New
York's most unique rooms: the
Alchemy Suite, a one of a kind
Gothic chamber which was
created in 1932 to replicate a
medieval alchemist's
laboratory. The ancient,
mystical practice of alchemy,
which sought to transmute
common metals like lead into
pure gold, is seen as the
predecessor of modern
chemistry.
The centerpiece of the Alchemy
Suite, with its vaulted
ceiling and slender Gothic
columns, is a stained glass
window depicting many symbols
of alchemy. In one pane for
example, a curving,
long-necked stork flask rests
above a flame, presumably
distilling dross into gold. At
the windows center is the
crest of the Chemists' Club -
a six sided hexane molecule
with a salamander inside,
flames licking up the sides,
and two crossed stork flasks.
Taking a basic symbol of
organic chemistry, the
window's leaded panes are all
hexagonal.
