Lot of approx. 40 postcards showing exterior images of the former Hotel Raymond. Nine undivided backs postmarked 1905 - 1907. Rest color prints c. 1907 - 1924. Note: the first Hotel Raymond opened in 1886 as a resort destination for wealthy Easterners. It burnt down in 1895 and was ultimately reconstructed in even more opulent style with a 2nd opening in 1901. The Great Depression sent the hotel into bankruptcy and was eventually razed for commercial development. Pasadena California Fred Holabird Collection
