1920's The Southern Hotel, Baltimore, Maryland

A mint-state, signed artistry from Maryland Lithograph Co. No writing and never mailed, this card is clean and sharp all around, front and back. Located at Light and Redwood Streets, the reverse tells us:

"The Southern Hotel stands on the site on which once stood the famous Old Fountain Inn of Colonial days where General George Washington and his staff were entertained. It was one of the best known hostelries in this part of the Country and remained a landmark until 1871. The following year the Carrollton Hotel was erected on the site, being quite up-to-date for the times and named after Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the last survivor of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence. The Carrollton Hotel was destroyed in the great Baltimore fire of 1904."
