Washington Hotel Trade Card

Object Details

Description
This is a trade card for the Washington Hotel at Ogdensburgh, New York. The card advertised Chris Brewster as the business’ owner, with free baggage handling to the hotel at its location on the corner of Washington & Catharine Streets.
The Copp Collection contains a variety of household objects that the Copp family of Connecticut used from around 1700 until the mid-1800s. Part of the Puritan Great Migration from England to Boston, the family eventually made their home in New London County, Connecticut, where their textiles, clothes, utensils, ceramics, books, bibles, and letters provide a vivid picture of daily life. More of the collection from the Division of Home and Community Life can be viewed by searching accession number 28810.
