This postcard depicts the Windsor Hotel in Americus, Georgia, designed by G.L. Norrman and completed in 1892.
Published by Holliday’s Book Store in Americus, the card was postmarked in Americus on February 12, 1912, and addressed to Mademoiselle [Myte Schmitz?] of 26 rue de la [something] in [Don’t know] France. Ooh la la.
Barrien wrote on the back:
“La Palace hotel de cetta [?]. C’est ici que j’ai éler domicile.”
Roughly translated and filling in the blank, we get:
“The Palace hotel of this [shithole town]. This is where I have taken up residence.”
Let’s hope he got out of there—Americus isn’t kind to outsiders.
