Buttonwoods Rhode Island Buttonwoods Hotel 1907 Postcard Posted Divided Back

This 1907 postcard documents the Buttonwoods Hotel in Buttonwoods, Rhode Island, presenting a large resort-style structure within a coastal leisure setting.

Hotels in seaside New England communities during this period often served seasonal visitors, offering extended stays in buildings designed to accommodate social activity and outdoor enjoyment. Structures of this type typically feature expansive wraparound porches, elevated foundations, and upper-level dormers, creating both visual prominence and functional outdoor space suited to warm-weather occupancy.

The image shows a substantial multi-story hotel with a mansard-style roof, evenly spaced dormer windows, and a continuous porch encircling the lower level. Guests are visible along the veranda, while a central stairway leads to the main entrance. Colorized printing enhances the building’s contrast against the landscaped grounds, and the caption identifies the property as the Buttonwoods Hotel in Rhode Island.
