Description
The six-story Falmouth Hotel, with its sandstone façade, was built on at Middle and Union Streets by John Bundy Brown from 1867-1868. The hotel marked a period of revitalization in the commercial distract after the devastating fire of 1866. In addition to 240 rooms for accommodation, the Falmouth Hotel included ten stores, a billiard room, and a dining service. It was demolished in 1963.
The caption reads, "Falmouth Hotel, Portland, Maine."
The Tichnor Brothers printing company published this type of postcard circa 1938.
