Duluth’s Cascade Hotel

“Your home when you’re in Duluth” is the Cascade, “the friendly hotel.” Located on the corner of First Avenue West and Third Street, it features “kitchenette apartments – hotel rooms” that are “transient – residential.”

Miss Dorothy Kolb was the recipient of this postcard, way down south in Saltillo, capital of the Mexican state of Coahuila. It was sent to her July 20, 1958, from her daddy, who the day before wrote:

Since we don’t work Saturdays at the chromotype, Jim and I have driven up here to Duluth, Minn. We took a sightseeing cruise around the lake. Mother sent me the letter you had written to her. It’s a nice letter and I’m glad you are using your stationary.
