Description

This postcard features a color illustration of Hotel Wisteria in Winona, Mississippi, a three story hotel with double wrap-around balconies on the second and third floor. Three dormer windows and one chimney are on the roof and a sign for "Hotel Wisteria" is on the front roof pitch. People are standing along the porch and a horse and carriage is parked in front. A group of what appears to be children is seated along the front railing of the hotel. The title of the card is printed in red in the upper left of the image. The back of the postcard is addressed to Miss Alice Barrett in Webster Grove, Missouri. The card is postmarked Winona, Mississippi, December 8, 1911 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]
