Creator Taylor, Frank H. (Frank Hamilton), 1846-1927
Title The Passing of the Windmere
Date ca. 1922
Description View of a hotel slated for demolition near the intersection of Broad and Locust Streets. The building in the background, formerly the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel, is currently the Hyatt at the Bellevue hotel on Broad Street.
Notes The Windmere Hotel, here depicted: a glimpse of the towering Bellevue-Stratford rising above; fairly typifies the old as compared witht hte modern, in our local hotels. At this writing, in 1922, it is marked for removal. Originally a group of private residences, the Windmere as long served as a quiet family hotel, of the sort much in favor with the many who care for central locations. Its site, at Broad and Locust Streets, will doubtless soon be covered by something in the shape of a hive of business offices.
