Nice Hotel but I wonder if they used to deliver the mail to the Post Office in Starlight ? {Post Office now closed].
Still searching.........

Very cool. It looks like this hotel, which opened in 1909, is still operating - link. |

They most likely had no mail deliveries to the Hotel at some point and went into Starlight to the Post Office to collect mail. I am intrigued if this was a real 'local' service and have written to the current owner to see if she can shed any light. |
