A central court and its stairway anchor this view of the Old Orleans Hotel in New Orleans, photographed around 1906 by the Detroit Publishing Company. The firm issued numbered views of American cities, towns and resorts, sold as prints and postcards to travelers. Hotels of this period often arranged rooms around open courts, so the stair shows how guests moved through the building and how light reached its interior. The record rests on an old caption card, so its details are worth checking against other sources.
