The Netherland Hotel stood on Fifth Avenue at the edge of Central Park, one of the grand hotels that lined that stretch of Manhattan in the early 1900s. This stereograph, number 79 in a series issued by the Stereo-Travel Co. of Corona, New York, around 1909, would have been viewed through a hand-held stereoscope to give a three-dimensional impression of the building. Stereo cards like this were a popular way for families to see distant cities and landmarks without leaving home, and views of luxury hotels mirrored the rising fashion for travel and the leisure class at the time.
