About this postcard

A five-story brick hotel with a rounded corner turret stands at a street corner, its ground floor occupied by storefronts with awnings, including one marked "Fletcher Hardware Co." Utility poles and wires cross the foreground. The Wescott Hotel served as a commercial and traveling-men's hotel in downtown Richmond, Indiana, at the corner of Tenth and Main streets during the early twentieth century.
