Description: Lake Charles, LOUISIANA - Majestic Hotel: Lake Charles (French: Lac Charles) is the fifth-largest incorporated city in the U.S. state of Louisiana, located on Lake Charles, Prien Lake, and the Calcasieu River. Founded in 1861 in Calcasieu Parish, it is a major industrial, cultural, and educational center in the southwest region of the state. As of the 2020 census, Lake Charles's population was 84,872. It is considered a regionally significant center of petrochemical refining, gambling, tourism, and education, being home to McNeese State University and Sowela Technical Community College. Because of the lakes and waterways throughout the city, metropolitan Lake Charles is often called the Lake Area. Opened in 1906, the grand Majestic Hotel welcomed guests on the corner of Pujo and Bilbo Sts. The hotel (and several surrounding buildings) survived the Fire of 1910 due to its own water system. Celebrities such as Harry Houdini, General and Mrs. Eisenhower, and Jackie and John Kennedy are known to have stayed at the hotel. For decades, the structure was the center of social, political, and cultural life for Southwest Louisiana. Sadly, the hotel was deemed obsolete and was razed for the construction of a parking lot that welcomes cars to this day. Cue Joni Mitchell. This White order Era (1915-300 postcard is in good condition. "C.T. American Art." No. 62522. The Edwards News Co. Port Arthur & Beaumont, Texas.
