Summary
| Description |
English:
Color print on front with only a border on the bottom containing title caption, divided back. Caption from the back of card: "The first Air Conditioned Apartment House in the State of Georgia. Edw. T. Courtney, Mgr." In the late 1940’s, the architect Cletus Bergen brought his son, William P. “Billy” Bergen, into his Beaux Arts style design firm. The younger Bergen brought his Bauhaus inspired education to Savannah and immersed the city in modern International design. The Drayton Arms, completed in 1951, was constructed of glass, steel, aluminum, and limestone. The International Style proved to be a controversial culture clash style to a city deeply steeped in history and tradition, and still elicits debate even though it was added to the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing Building in 2004.
The card was produced by Tichnor Brothers, Inc. of Boston, who produced a wide variety of postcards between 1912 and 1987.
