SUPREME COURT DOCUMENTS
ON THE DISMANTLING OF
THE WARDENCLYFFE TOWER
Tesla maintained a residence at the old Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City from the spring of 1899
to 1915. He maintained by mortgaging the Wardenclyffe property and tower to the hotel and its owner,
George C. Boldt. Since the anticipated income from the Wardenclyffe project of transmitting messages
across the Atlantic was unrealized, Tesla was unable to repay the mortgages. Action was taken by the
mortgagees in 1915 to foreclose on the property, and a bill of sale offered to Lester S. Holmes, a
developer. The property would be sold to Holmes and the tower would be destroyed so that property
could be developed.
Tesla appealed the foreclosure judgment, and the case was heard by the Supreme Court of the State of
New York, Suffolk County. Tesla lost the case on appeal. Following the judgment on April 20, 1922,
Tesla vacated his suite at the Waldorf-Astoria and took up residence at the Hotel St Regis.
Though the 313 page transcript document largely contains the various lawyers arguing about the legal
instruments of mortgaging and foreclosure actions, portions of the testimony are interesting. During
Tesla's testimony, he give important information about the Wardenclyffe installation (transcript pages
163-181). Next is a portion of Ezra C. Bingham's testimony, chief engineer for the Waldorf-Astoria, in
which he describes how the tower had been vandalized, and how poor the condition of the plant was
(transcript pages 235-247). Tesla returns to the stand and gives more information on the purpose of the
plant (transcript pages 269-275), and finally is Exhibit B, Tesla's inventory of the plant(transcript pages
309-312).
