This brochure of the King Arthur Inn, that was in Tampa, actually has a fold out cover. After you open the flaps in the front you see the interior below. Below that is the flip side.

The hotel is now gone and now home to a car lot on the Dale Mabry Highway.

Next week is a matchbook from the hotel right next door to the Motor Lodge.
Next door to the hotel was the White Turkey Restaurant owned by Champ Williams.
This was also the hotel with the tall diving board that could provide a high-dive into Lake Rowena.

Here’s The Patio Grill in The Roosevelt Hotel in downtown Jacksonville. The postcard was written on and with a stamp, but the postmark was made on the edge of the card. So no date of the card can be seen. I would figure 1940s.
