Title:
Drayton Arms Apartments, Savannah, Georgia
Description:
Color print on front with only a border on the bottom containing title caption, divided back. Caption from the back of card: "The first Air Conditioned Apartment House in the State of Georgia. Edw. T. Courtney, Mgr." The card is undated and was produced by Tichnor Brothers, Inc. of Boston, who produced a wide variety of postcards between 1912 and 1987. The Drayton Arms, an International Style building completed in 1951, was constructed of glass, steel, aluminum, and limestone. The International Style proved to be a controversial culture clash style to a city deeply steeped in history and tradition, and this building still elicits debate even though it was added to the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing building in 2004.
