This enlarged and cropped real photograph postcard dates from 1919-1923. The photographer is looking north and we can see the east side of Broadway from Third Avenue North. The "Dixon European Hotel" was loacted in the center of the block (the third building from right to left) at 305 1/2 Broadway. The Dixon's round sign can be seen just above the street light.

The Dixon Building at 305-307 Broadway was designed by the Hancock Brothers in classical Revival style and built in 1905 as a hotel. It was sold to Bill Lee, then owner of the Model Laundry, in about 1940. In about 1950, Harold Reed of Reed Travel Agency bought the building. It was stilloperating asa hotel in 1953. The Moose Lodge acquired the buidling in 1964-1965.

A view of the entire block can be seen here.
