Victoria Hotel, Chicago Illinois, 1911
| This building, located on the corner of Michigan and Van Buren, was originally called the "Beaurivage", and was built in 1878. It was one of the first "French Flat" buildings in the city, essentially luxury apartments. It burned in 1882 and was rebuilt. In 1892 it was remodeled into the Victoria Hotel. It was demolished in 1908 (obviously this postcard sat on the shelf for awhile before it was mailed!). |
