Description

This postcard features a color illustration of the Mexican Gulf Hotel in Pass Christian, Mississippi, a three story hotel with arched molding on the porch columns and railing. Dormers line the third floor roof. An early twentieth century car is parked in front of the hotel and trees in the front partially obscure the view of the hotel. The title of the card is printed in red beneath the bottom edge of the image. The back of the card is addressed to Mrs. Will Stockton in Maysville, Kentucky. The card is postmarked Pass Christian, Mississippi, February 2, 1908 and a green, one cent Benjamin Franklin postage stamp is placed in the upper right corner. An inscription is written on the left half of the card. [see transcription field]
