Planter's Hotel, St Louis, Missouri, USA, 1910. Vintage postcard showing the exterior of the hotel, an E shaped Renaissance Revival style building with a porticoed entrance. The building was designed by Isaac S Taylor and opened in 1894. The hotel closed in 1922 and the building was converted to office space. It was renamed the Cotton Belt Buiding in 1930, when it was the headquarters of the Cotton Belt Railroad, but was demolished in 1976.
