New London, CONNECTICUT - Griswold Hotel - Moonlight

Description: New London, CONNECTICUT - Griswold Hotel - Moonlight: The Griswold Hotel was built in 1906 by Morton F. Plant on the site of the Fort Griswold Inn (formerly the Edgecombe House) in Groton, Connecticut. The total of 400 rooms, provided the Griswold Hotel was 240 rooms larger than Ocean House in Watch Hill, making it the largest and most visited luxury hotel in the Northeast. As described by a 1914 Griswold Hotel brochure, orchestras would grace the piazza in the mornings and the freshest of food was grown by Bradford Farms. The rooms, detailed in mahogany, were lit with electricity and provided luxurious long-distance telephone service. Dancing was offered nightly, and no expense was spared on service, food or decor. But large-scale luxury lodging eventually lost popularity, and the great Griswold Hotel served the last guest September 1967 before closing its opulent doors. Eventually razed in 1968. This White Border Era (1915-30) postcard is in good condition. Pub. J. Solomon. New London, Conn.
