Description
From text: "The visitor to Chicago can not fail to be attracted by the splendid and massive structure of the Tremont House, which is centrally located on the corner of Dearborn and Lake streets. This hotel is widely known as one of the most spacious and agreeable in the West. The internal arrangements admirably harmonize with the inviting aspect of the exterior. The Tremont was rebuilt, remodeled, and refurnished in the richest and most luxurious style in 1868. It comprises nearly three hundred rooms--single and in suites--with baths, closets, and every modern improvement attached."
