Bellevue-Stratford Hotel, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, 1905.
Bellevue-Stratford Hotel, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, 1905. Vintage postcard showing the exterior of the hotel. The corner of Broad and Walnut Streets is also visible. The hotel was designed in French Renaissance style by Philadelphia architects GW and WD Hewitt. It opened in 1904 and quickly became the focal point of the cultural, social and business life of Philadelphia's elite. In 1976 it became notorious as the site of the first recorded outbreak of Legionnaire's disease, which killed 34 members of the American Legion who had attended a convention at the hotel.
