Palmer House hotel, Chicago, Illinois, USA, 1941. Postcard showing the exterior of the hotel on the corner of Monroe and State Streets. Designed by prominent Chicago architectural firm Holabird & Roche, the hotel was built between 1923 and 1925 to replace a smaller hotel of the same name that had stood on the site since 1875. The construction was carried out in stages so that the hotel could remain open to guests throughout.
