Holiday Inn, Ca. 1970

Holiday Inn, Ca. 1970
This 13-story motor hotel replaced the New Amsterdam, only to close after a few years. CSU operated the building as a residence hall that housed many members of its athletic teams until it closed in 2010 with the opening of newer, more attractive housing. This postcard gives the impression of a suburban hotel surrounded by spacious lawns, but in fact the hotel was sandwiched amid other downtown buildings. Also, the adjacent Trinity Cathedral would have made this particular view of the hotel impossible. | Source: Cleveland Memory Project, Cleveland State University Library Special Collections
