For whatever reason, we have way more postcards from Prescott than any other city or locality on US 89 in Arizona. Because of the sheer number of Prescott postcards & views, we are WAAAY behind on writing captions for them!
The postcard above is a rare classic. It shows the brand new Hassayampa Inn in the 1920's. You can easily tell it's still the 1920's by the lack of even a single vehicle that dates to the 1930's. The Hassayampa was finished in 1927, a year after US 89 was designated. It's entirely possible that this postcard is a depiction of the dedication of the new Hotel.
Classic Prescott motel. Never heard "Healthiest Spot On Earth" before!
Those are both 1930's sedans traveling US 89 in this postcard.
