Note |
The Albion was designed in 1939 by architect Igor Polevitsky to resemble a luxury ocean liner on dry land. Its reputation declined for some decades, and Abbie Hoffman and Students for a Democratic Society used it as their headquarters during the 1972 Democratic National Convention. Rubbel Hotels purchased the property in 1996 and undertook a year-long renovation, employing Ecuadorian architect Carlos Zapata, who re-designed it in Minimalist style. The hotel re-opened in 1997. Inscription on verso. Postmark: Aug 13, 1940. Genuine Curteich-Chicago "C. T. Photo-Colorit" post card. 9A-H1443. |
