Chicago, Morrison Hotel

Chicago, Morrison Hotel

With a slogan like “The Hotel of Perfect Service,” what could go wrong?  In the Loop, the hotel opened in 1925 but demolished in 1965 and replaced by the First National Bank Building, now Chase Tower.  Wikipedia tells us that “Standing 160m high, the Morrison Hotel was the first building outside of New York City to have more than 40 floors,” and “At the time of its razing, it was the tallest building to have ever been demolished anywhere in the world.”  And of course on the front is the legend, “Worlds tallest hotel”.  The card was mailed in 1929, with two stamps and postmark.  Really very nice.  Grade: 2
