This lot is a divided back postcard printed between 1907 and 1909. This hand-tinted card is an interesting view because it pictures the Star Bargain House and the Burdick Hotel in the foreground on the right side of the street. In 1909, a fire started in the Star Bargain House and quickly spread to the adjacent Burdick Hotel. The hotel, which had only reopened in 1907 following a complete renovation, was totally destroyed.
