Place Published: Santa Monica

Description:

The archive includes:

• 
  Silver photograph of the hotel in the final stages of construction. 20.5x25 cm (8x9¾"), mounted on thin cardboard.


• 
  Silver photograph of the just-completed hotel, with staff members on the balconies and front porch. 20.5x25 cm (8x9¾"), mounted on thin cardboard.


• 
  Oval photograph portrait of J.G., Holborow, Lessee & Manager, mounted in cardboard display with the "The Holborow / Completed in 21 Days" at the top. Overall 23x27 cm (9x10¾").


• 
  Oval photograph portrait of A.L. Ross, Owner, mounted in cardboard. Overall 23x27 cm (9x10¾").

The photographs were undoubtedly part of a display board that has been separated, a rare piece of hotel ephemera. Present is a print-out of a short piece from the Los Angeles Herald, July 2, 1904, about the opening of the hotel, noting that "The visitors were profuse in their praises of the new hostelry."

Some staining and wear, good condition, but rare or even unique.
