Early Saltaire View with just the Casino
This postcard is from a series of very early promotional postcards.
This one is very interesting.
Look carefully. To the east of the casino there is nothing. Nothing, not a single house within view. Not the Hilton House, not O'Shea, nothing. There is a big promotional sign (illegible here) in about the middle of the scene, that is it. This must be from the very first or second summer.
Kirk Stopenhagen writes: I remember my Dad telling me that one of his Stepdad's jobs with the Village was to remove the dock in the fall and reinstall it in the Spring. This was before the 'J' shaped permanent dock was built. Now we just need to pinpoint when the J dock was built.
