Baldwin Hotel

January 1, 1870

Powell and Market Streets, site of later Flood Building. View down the length of dining room, with set tables, tulip top chandeliers and decorated ceiling. Watkins produced at least 5 stereoview cards of this general view, and a boudoir card version, wnp37.00888, from which this image may have been cropped by Watkins.

removed " (pix made about 1897 - hotel burned down 1898 -" and changed date. This is clearly a reprint of a much older Watkins stereoview (AS)
