Postcards from the South: Bellevue Hotel – Gadsden, Alabama

Postcard view of Bellevue Hotel (1889), Gadsden, Alabama.

This postcard depicts the Bellevue Hotel in Gadsden, Alabama, designed by G.L. Norrman and completed in 1890.

“The ground is covered with snow. Wish you were here to snow-ball,” Edith wrote to Mrs. W.W. Edwards in Smithville, Texas. Think that was a euphemism?

Published by the Souvenir Postcard Company of New York, the card was postmarked in Gadsden on February 14, 1907. Hmm.
