Description: Topeka, KANSAS - Hotel Throop: The Gordon House, on the northeast corner of Kansas avenue and Fifth street, built and conducted by J. C. Gordon, was one of the most popular of the early Topeka hostelries, and held its position as the leading hotel for many years. It was rebuilt in 1877, and sold in 1881 to Dr. J. J. Burtis, of Davenport, Iowa. Dr. Burtis sold it to H. P. Throop, who remodeled it throughout at an expense of $80,000, and changed its name to the Throop Hotel, by which it is now known. It is one of the finest buildings on Kansas avenue, and its cost seriously impaired the fortune Mr. Throop had accumulated. The property was sold in 1901 to J. J. O'Rourke, and as of the early 1900s was under the management of the Hamilton Hotel Company, composed of C. B. Hamilton, James L. Brooks and Harry H. Hamilton. By March of 1950, the Hotel Throop caught fire and collapsed on the local Harley Davidson store next door. This Divided Back Era (1907-15) postcard is in good condition, but shows some soiling. Published by Arthur Cooper. Topeka, Kansas. No. 552-7.
