This postcard depicts the Manor Inn at Albermarle Park in Asheville, North Carolina, designed by Bradford L. Gilbert and completed in 1898.
Published by the Southern Post Card Co. of Asheville, the card was postmarked in Asheville on April 9, 1921, and addressed to Mrs. H.V.M. Dennis of 81 E. Main Street in Freehold, New Jersey.
Printed on the back is the following description:
The Manor, Asheville, N.C.
In the “Land Of The Sky.”The Manor, an exclusive Inn, is located in a park of thirty-six acres and has its private club house, with tennis, bowling and billiards within the park. It is operated by The Albermarle Park Company of Asheville which also owns Albermarle Park and about fifteen cottages within the Park. These can be leased and furnished for housekeeping.
Also written on the back is the following note:
“Fri. Eve.
Had a very pleasant day – all of us feeling much better. You would hardly know Mary [Sr.?]”
I can see where a Mary Sr. might be unrecognizable.
