Roger Smith Motor Hotel, Stamford
Along River Street in downtown Stamford. The bucolic background and “resort” description were, at best, exaggerated. The brick building on the far left was the Roger Smith hotel. By the time it was demolished in 1982, the hotel was hosting a variety of unsavory and illegal activities.
Hotel Hartford
Depending on the corner, the hotel site is either the Civic/XL center or a parking lot. Postmarked in 1948, mailed to Madison, Maine
Camelot Motor Inn, Wethersfield
Reception building has been replaced by a Red Lobster, but the motel building survives as a Comfort Inn. Postcard wasn’t mailed, but bears a notation reading “1st night, Sept 20 1975.” Note doesn’t specify other highlights from that Saturday night, or what “first” may refer to.
