Description

Taos New Mexico Taos Inn Restaurant & Cocktail Lounge Vintage Postcard 23612 Front of Card: The image shows the exterior of a building identified as "Taos Inn." The building has an adobe-style architecture with wooden beams and turquoise window frames. There are two signs visible: one hanging from a pole and another attached to the building. The hanging sign reads: TAOS INN 45 Rooms DINING ROOM Cocktail Lounge PACKAGE LIQUORS PARKING LOT Curios VACANCY The sign attached to the building reads: Taos Inn Cocktail Lounge and Dining 45 Rooms and 75 Beds A person is standing in front of the building, wearing a colorful jacket and a red shirt. The street in front of the building is narrow, with a vehicle partially visible on the left side of the image. The scene appears to be set in a small town or village, with trees and other buildings in the background. The image is interesting as it captures the unique architectural style and cultural elements of the Taos Inn, which may be a notable location in the area. Back of Card: The image shows the back of a postcard from Taos Inn in Taos, New Mexico. The postcard provides some historical information about the building, stating that it was originally a Spanish hacienda built close to 200 years ago. It mentions that what is now the lobby was the location of a well that supplied the surrounding community with water. The postcard also credits the color photography to George Thompson and notes that it was published by Petley Studios in Phoenix, Arizona. There is a handwritten note on the postcard that appears to be "1-2-4-5."

  1. The postcard just arrived today, 10-8-25 even, though tracking said it was delivered on 10-4-25. It was likely delivered to the wrong address first, and no fault of the seller. The postcard is just as described, and I am happy with my purchase. I may buy more from this seller in the future. Thank you.
