R Richland Hotel (Richland, Mo.).

625 Collection, ca. 1930s-1940s.

One folder.

This is a collection pertaining to the Richland Hotel in Richland, Pulaski County, Missouri. Included are two photographs of the hotel, a blotter, an envelope, and two rate cards.

Richland began as a railroad town in northern Pulaski County. In addition to the railroad connection, the town’s proximity to the Gasconade River led to development of a summer float-fishing trade as early as the 1890s. The Richland Hotel benefited from both the commercial and vacation trades.

The collection consists of six items associated with the hotel. Included are two black and white photographs, including one which appears to have been an original view used on the hotel’s postcards, blotters, and advertising. The collection also includes a blotter showing a view of the hotel and a graphic of a young woman in a canoe. The blotter indicates that accommodations were on the European plan. Two rate cards show rates of $1.50 to $2.00 per person per day.
