(Hotel Algonquin was built in 1898 with 400 rooms. It featured a garden rooftop which was a big craze at that time. The 300 guests that were stranded during the Great Flood of 1913 were possibly the only people in the whole city to not only have comfortable living quarters but regular chef prepared meals. The hotel is still standing but has changed hands numerous times. It is projected to become apartments in the mid 2020s.) ​

    About​

    After purchasing a large lot of postcards I became fascinated! The idea that these messages are from over 100 years ago is amazing and I wanted a way to preserve and share them.
