1947 Congress Hotel Chicago IL Postcard

1947. As the 19th century came to a close, the Congress Plaza Hotel & Convention Center opened in 1893 as the Auditorium Annex, built by famous hotel developer R.H. Southgate. With its unique façade as the centerpiece, the elaborately designed hotel soon became a favorite among Chicago’s captains of industry, society, politics, and culture. This vintage linen lithograph print postcard would look great framed or make a nice addition to any collection.
