    Postcard view of Printup Hotel (1888), Gadsden, Alabama.

    This postcard depicts the Printup Hotel in Gadsden, Alabama, designed by G.L. Norrman and completed in 1888.

    “This looks fine on paper,” Alex wrote on the front. Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

    Published by the AH Company, the card was postmarked in St. Louis on November 11, 1907, and addressed to Mr. W.A. Yule in Scotforth, Lancaster, United Kingdom.

    Alex wrote on the back:

    “Have rec’d quite a number of postals from you, which I am glad to have. Pls accept thanks. Glad to hear you are having such a good time. Alex”
