Judging from the automobiles this postcard is just about 100 years old. On the Lincoln Highway! Description on back, "Free auto yard. Our personal attention given to all our guests." Mr. and Mrs. C. B. White, Proprietors. Charles Bernard White purchased the home in November 1904. Belle White, in her youth, was a Sacramento Beauty Queen, and also a noted concert pianist, offering instruction in their home for many decades. The Truckee old-timers still speak of the massive piano and other exquisite furnishings that adorned the 'White House.' He was later deeply involved in the Lincoln Highway through Truckee Project. It was during the early 1900s that the White family opened their home to help alleviate the local lodging shortage: from 1912 to the late twenties, the 'White House Hotel' catered to the first automobile traffic over Donner Pass Summit..
