About this postcard

The Hotel Paris occupies a corner on West End Avenue, its rooftop sign rising above a street lined with parked cars and an American flag over the entrance. The printed description presents it as an Upper West Side stop a few steps from Riverside Drive, with express subway and Fifth Avenue bus service at the door, a 50-foot indoor pool, private baths and radios in every room, lounges, and a solarium. Dottie Evans's message is a brief travel update from a short New York visit with Hugh's sister.
