Southern Hotel, Baltimore Maryland MD Vintage Postcard

Description: Southern Hotel, Baltimore Maryland MD Vintage Postcard The Southern Hotel, which opened for business March 6, 1918. The Southern fronted west 93 feet on Light Street and south 148 feet on Redwood Street. The structure was fourteen stories, contained 345 bed rooms, all with private bath. The Southern differed from the vast majority of hotels in the it had but one entrance. That entrance, into a parlored lobby, had a spacious semi-public lounging room just within the front door, and a ladies room adjoining, so that the home atmosphere welcomed both male and female guests directly at the threshold. The lobby was luxuriously furnished, the rug covered marble floor, accented with mahogany furniture. had a roof garden which occupied the west end of the floor. It was arranged to give Baltimore a social headquarters all year round and furnish roof garden facilities of the most desirable kind. The west and south sides of the roof garden were covered with a pergola and were glass enclosed during the winter season. The floor of the roof garden was in red Welsh tile. And the view from the roof garden commanded a panorama of the city and surrounding hills which was a delight to the eye. The hotel finally closed its doors in 1964, after only 46 years of service. In 1967, the hotel was purchased by the Maritime Engineers Beneficial Association, which operated a seaman's training center there until turning off the lights for good in 1984. The hotel was torn down in 1998. Please review the photos carefully for condition and detail. Normal wear associated with an old postcard have creases, corner bumps, scratches, ink on the front etc.
