c.1893 Fort Washington Hotel Advertising Trade Card Chicago World\'s Fair WCE :
$16.95

This is an original antique c.1893 trade card advertising the Fort Washington hotel which was located at the corner of 66th Street and Woodlawn Avenue in Chicago.   This card measures about 4”x  2.75”.   One side of the card has a photographic illustration of the hotel and the other side has descriptive information and describes the hotel as “New Brick and Stone Building, Large Airy Rooms, New Furniture, on a beautiful residential street”

The card also indicates “Within four blocks of World’s Fair Grounds” so I’d date this to around the time of the 1893 Columbia World’s Exposition world’s fair in Chicago.  This antique original card is fully complete with some toning from age and moderate handling wear including a short tear of about a half inch on one edge,  Overall condition is very good.  Email any questions.  Thanks for looking.
