About this postcard

The picture shows the Hotel Monson, a long three-story resort building with red tile roofs, palm trees, and a waterfront promenade, as named in the printed caption. St. Augustine, founded by Spain in 1565, is the oldest continuously occupied European-established settlement in the continental United States, and its bayfront hotels were central to its winter tourist economy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
