EDITORS COMMENTS
The Palmer House, an iconic landmark of Chicago's rich history, is depicted in this photograph taken circa 1903. Located at the bustling corner of State and Monroe Streets, this grand hotel has been a symbol of American hospitality and architectural elegance for over a century. The Palmer House, named after Potter Palmer, a prominent Chicago businessman and politician, opened its doors in 1871. This image captures the hotel's second iteration, which was rebuilt after a devastating fire that destroyed the original structure. The hotel's distinctive red-brick facade, adorned with ornate ironwork and intricate stone detailing, stands proudly against the clear blue sky. The photograph showcases the hotel's impressive awnings, which provided shelter to guests and visitors alike. The awnings, supported by ornate cast-iron columns, stretched out over the wide, tree-lined sidewalk, creating an inviting and welcoming atmosphere. The Palmer House's elegant design, combined with its prime location in the heart of the city, made it a popular destination for both business travelers and tourists. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when travel was an adventure, and hotels like the Palmer House were the epitome of luxury and sophistication. Today, the Palmer House continues to be a beloved Chicago institution, having undergone numerous renovations to preserve its historic charm while offering modern amenities and accommodations. This image serves as a testament to the enduring allure of this iconic building and its place in the annals of American history.
