Postcard, The Spalding Hotel, Duluth, Minnesota, 1914

Automobiles, an electric streetcar, a horse-drawn buggy, and pedestrians are seen traveling down the street in front of the Spalding Hotel in Duluth, Minnesota, in this circa 1910 postcard. Proprietors opened the hotel in 1899 to cater mainly to railroad passengers. But by the time this postcard was made, more and more motorists were stopping to use the accommodations.
