Brighton Beach Hotel

A postcard from 1908 features the familiar hostelry at Brighton Beach at the east end of Third Street. This card was from the end of the era where only the address was allowed on the back of the card.  All that changed around 1907/1908.  

As detailed here previously, the Brighton Beach Hotel lasted from 1899 until 1927 when it was demolished and a private home was constructed on the grounds. In later years, the acreage was sold to a religious order for use as a retirement facility for retired sisters.
