There is a vibrant sense of a city on the rise in seeing the grand facade of a hotel that once served as the premiere social hub for travelers and local business leaders alike. This postcard depicts the Courtland Hotel in Canton, Ohio, a massive structure that defined the downtown skyline during the early twentieth century. The personal message scrawled vertically along the side dated October 18 1906 captures a fleeting moment of travel from an era when a simple postcard was the primary way to share news of a safe arrival.
