Postcard Clinton House Restaurant & Inn Clinton NY 1820 Historic Country Inn

Clinton, New York, USA1970ChromeExcellent

Rendered in elegant forest green on cream stock, this letterpress-printed advertising postcard for The Clinton House Restaurant and Inn in Clinton, New York evokes the quiet dignity of a Federal-era country estate — a sprawling two-story mansion with shuttered windows, columned porches, and mature shade trees crowding the roofline, all captured in a fine illustrative hand typical of quality mid-century commercial printing. The inn, located at 21 Park Row in Clinton, New York (315-853-5555), occupies a building constructed in 1820 as a private residence of the Williams family and was converted into an upscale country inn with five guest rooms. Clinton, a small village in Oneida County near Hamilton College, has long attracted visitors seeking refined New England-adjacent atmosphere in upstate New York. The card is unused, with a dealer pencil notation of "4–" ($4.00) on the back — a modest price for a piece of charming local Americana that documents a now-obscure hospitality business.
