DescriptionThis rectangular framed plaque displays the room rates, rules, and regulations for guests staying at the Alvarado, a Fred Harvey Hotel in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The sign has black printed text on a cream-colored background, encased in a simple off-white metal frame with a glass cover. Handwritten in ink, the pricing section indicates that a one-person stay in Room No. 37 cost $10.00, while two guests paid $12.00, with an additional charge of $1.50 per extra occupant. The text includes guest guidelines, billing policies, and a legal notice referencing the 1929 New Mexico Statutes regarding hotel liability for guests' valuables. The Alvarado Hotel was a key landmark in Albuquerque, serving as a premier stop along the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway from its opening in 1902 until its demolition in 1970. As part of the Fred Harvey hospitality empire, the hotel provided accommodation, fine dining, and cultural experiences that played a crucial role in the tourism industry of the Southwest.On View
