Welcome To Walt’s Plaza

The image provided is a vintage real photo postcard of the St. Elmo Hotel, Ocean Grove, N. J..

The postcard depicts the building's original appearance when it was a hotel and it has been converted into condos present day, but retains its historic charm.

This is a vintage postcard that was sent from Ocean Grove, New Jersey, on June 14, 1909.

The postcard was addressed to Mrs. W. H. Hayler at 7 East Broadway, Port Chester, N.Y., and features a 1-cent George Washington stamp and has a handwritten note.

The postcard was printed in Germany and is from the "Golden Age" of postcards, which is considered to be the period from approximately 1907 to 1915.

During this time, the use of postcards was very popular in the United States, with billions being mailed.

This particular postcard has a "divided back," which became standard in the U.S. beginning in 1907, with one side for the address and the other for the message.

The 1-cent postage rate for postcards was in effect from 1872 until a brief increase during World War I.
