Summary[edit]

Description An early 1930s Tuck's Oilette showing Rotten Row in the foreground and Park Lane and the Dorchester Hotel in the background. I am not sure that you could actually see this view today or then, perhaps a piece of artistic licence. The sender of the postcard was a young American girl who sent the card to her father in Buffalo, New York. She told him that she had marked the rooms where she was staying with crosses. The Dorchester was opened in April 1931, there is no discernable postmark on the card but the sender had dated the message 17th August which I would like to think was 1931, the Dorchester Hotel looks very new.
