Description: Hotel Yancey in Grand Island, Nebraska, features a detailed illustration of the hotel, emphasizing its grandeur and significance. Notably, the cover includes a Special Delivery stamp, indicating the urgency and importance of the correspondence. The Hotel Yancey, built between 1917 and 1923, was designed by architect Francis W. Fitzpatrick in the Renaissance Revival style. This eleven-story building was the tallest in Grand Island for many years and served as a central hub for social and business activities. Originally part of the American Hotel chain, the hotel was opened by William L. Yancey. It featured luxurious amenities such as a cigar stand, billiard room, telegraph office, and multiple meeting rooms, making it a focal point for the community. Despite facing financial difficulties during the Great Depression, the hotel reopened in 1933 and continued to operate until 1982. Economic changes and the rise of motels led to its decline. The building was converted into residential condominiums and office spaces and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. Around the time the hotel was in operation, the population of Grand Island, Nebraska, was approximately 13,000 in the 1920s. This thriving community supported the hotel as a key establishment within the city.
