They Don’t do Hotel Lobbies Like They Used to…..Chinese lanterns in Montana

…and now just how nice is the lobby of the Many Glacier Hotel in Montana….the hotel opened in 1915 though I can’t date this postcard I’m afraid. The lobby still exists so if anyone from the hotel reading this would like to recreate the Chinese lanterns theme and invite me I’ll be there!!

    Hi Paul, perhaps the presumed US Ambassador to China, Sen. Max Baucus could “shed some light” on it.
    This is the only address I could find.
    scheduling@baucus.senate.gov
    Regards,
    David

    These are Japanese lanterns, with Japanese writings on it. The hotel lobby still look the same, sans lanterns.
