Archeological Finds Vol. 64 – Hotel America Post Card

If you have a photo of a neat find from your house, place of work or neighborhood please send an email to [email protected] thanks. Please let me know where/what neighborhood you found it in too. Thanks.

Thanks to Claudia for sending this great find from “the St. John’s Opportunity Shop in Chevy Chase.”

The description on the back is the best:

“…famed for superb food in the lusty Beef ‘N Bird and good cheer in The Haypenny…”

Looks like this is the current Washington Plaza Hotel.

The House History Man has great details and writes: “The International Inn retained the pool enclosure until well after 1981, and it was likely removed a short time later due to maintenance issues.”
