Brunswick, GEORGIA - Oglethorpe Hotel - 1941- ARCHITECTURE :  The Oglethorpe Hotel in Brunswick, Georgia was designed by architect J.A. Wood and constructed in 1888. Wood also designed the Mahoney-McGarvey House at 1709 Reynolds Street in Brunswick, Georgia, a carpenter gothic architecture style home constructed in 1891 that remains in existence.  The hotel was named for General James Edward Oglethorpe, a British general, Member of Parliament, and philanthropist, as well as the founder of the colony of Georgia who hoped to resettle Britain's worthy poor in the New World, initially focusing on those in debtors' prisons.  The hotel operated from 1888 until 1958. It was constructed of brick and had three main levels as well as towers.  Built of Chattahoochee River hard brick (over 3 million), the Oglethorpe Hotel was flanked by turrets and a wide veranda, 240 feet in length, beckoning guests to the grand parlor.  Crystal chandeliers, polished floors , and a painting, The Battle of Flanders, once greeted those who entered her doors.   Brunswick  is a city in and the county seat of Glynn County, Georgia, United States. This Linen Era postcard, published in 1941, is in good condition.  C. T. Art Colortone. Courier Journal Job parts Co, Louisville, KY.
