Eads Bridge Disaster and Outdoor Games at the Organ Festival.

I am currently working through my collection of pictures and postcards I have purchased and slowly posting about them here. Due to the current lockdown restrictions around Corona in the UK I have not been able to get out much with my own Camera.

The first one was in a sleeve with the note St Louis and Illinois Bridge disaster. Eads Bridge. 

The 2nd picture featured today was titles "Outdoor Games at the Organ Festival" and was taken in Sweden during the 1920's

Sadly other than the notes on the sleeve I am unable to provide any more information.  Thanks for looking and please take a moment to share and follow me on social media.

Yadkin Hotel, North Carolina - Vintage Postcard

The Yadkin Hotel, Salisbury, North Carolina is a postcard I have owned for a couple of years now. I am currently sorting through a few with a mind to sell them on Ebay and this is one I am minded to let go. 

The hotel no longer operates, having opened in 1912, expanded in 1922 and closed after many years of decline in 1973. The building was left to decay, with a fire, substantial water damage and vandalism resulting in the hotel being gutted and stripped of anything valuable.

In 1980 the building was renovated overseen by architects Tenant & Tenant and received a new lease of life as an apartment building, now known as the Yadkin House Apartments, housing senior citizens and disabled adults. The picture is thought to have been taken in the 1930's.
