Title:
Hotel De Soto, Savannah, Ga.
Description:
Color postcard with no border, divided back, postally unused. Handcolored appears over the address box. While there are many indications that this is an older style postcard, (no white border, handcolored) the image reflects the absence of the peaked roof on the tower. After a 1925 fire destroyed the penthouse, the tower was restored with a flat roof. Construction on the Hotel DeSoto began in 1888. It was a Richardsonian Romanesque style building designed by Boston architect William Gibbons Preston. The publisher of this card was the American Post Card Company.
