The Planters Hotel is the subject here, a downtown St. Louis hotel photographed around 1902 as the city was growing into a major rail and commercial center. The view comes from the Detroit Publishing Company, a firm that produced views of American cities and landscapes for travelers, railroads and publishers in the decades around 1900. The record is drawn from an old caption card, so the date and process listed here should be treated as unverified. The street and building lines show the mix of commercial architecture that marked downtown St. Louis at the time.
