Description: Bridgeport, CONNECTICUT - Hotel Barnum - 1947 - ARCHITECTURE - ART DECO: The striking 14-story Art Deco building at 140 Fairfield Avenue in Bridgeport was built in 1928 as the Hotel Beach. Named for Francis E. Beach, the local merchant who owned the land on which it was constructed, the name was changed within a year to the Hotel Barnum, named after P. T. Barnum. The hotel has an interesting terraced profile and is an Art Deco design, with eclectic elements, including English brickwork, Egyptian detailing and an Italian palazzo front. The building was designed by the firm of Thomas, Martin and Fitzpatrick and was lauded in the press upon its construction for bringing a “cosmopolitan” style to the city. In later years it was a residential hotel and then became an apartment building known as the Barnum House. This White Border Era postcard is in good condition, but shows some edge wear and franking on the image. Natural Color. E. C. Kropp Co. Milwaukee, Wis. No. 8996.
