A tall, white multi-story hotel with rows of dark windows and a rounded corner entrance, fronted by three tall palm trees. Vintage automobiles and a yellow truck are parked along the street in the foreground under a clear blue sky. The printed caption reads "The McALLISTER, Miami's Biggest and Best Hotel, Miami, Florida."
White border around the image; small brown foxing/stain spots in the sky at upper left; pastel color typical of linen-era stock.
No postmark; divided-back linen-era card with white border and a one-cent stamp box ('PLACE ONE CENT STAMP HERE', Code No. M 183-50M 1049). The hotel name appears in the image as signage — a vertical rooftop sign, a street-level marquee, and a storefront sign reading 'COFFEE SHOP' — along with the printed caption 'The McALLISTER / Miami's Biggest and Best Hotel, Miami, Florida.' Light foxing/stains and a few spots on the front. Handwritten '112' and '2.00' (dealer price) at top, not a message.
