Rice Hotel & Restaurant, Stuart, Florida, c. 1950

Postcard created from a Ruhnke photo of the Rice Hotel and Restaurant. The Restaurant advertised that "It's Never Too Late For Breakfast." The building, previously the Rob Roy Hotel owned by the Roebuck family, was purchased by William H. Rice in 1945. Rice remodeled then operated the establishment, including a market on the first floor of the building (opened in 1949) and a nearby service station until 1956 when he sold it to Don A. O'Kelley and James L. Scannell who changed the name to "The Coffee House." The caption on the backside of the postcard is not legible. Poor condition.

Scans gift of Stuart Heritage Museum.
