I found this postcard the other day. Instead of being in the file with the other Panhellenic House/Beekman Tower postcards that I previously posted, it was in my “to be filed” basket. This was purchased on eBay as were all of my other Panhellenic House/Beekman Tower items. The series of postcards to which this belongs was taken shortly before or after the hotel opened. Copies of the pictures were sent to all the NPC groups and these photos appeared in many of the NPC magazines of the very late 1920s and the 1930s.
The story of the Panhellenic House fascinates me and if you haven’t read my previous post, I hope this postcard (“Section of modernistic ballroom showing indirect lighting effect”) piques your interest. Ad if nothing else, one can ponder the thought that indirect lighting was once a big deal.
