EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1930, showcases the grandeur and modernity of the Grand Hotel in Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). Situated on the bustling Main Street, the hotel stands out as a beacon of elegance and sophistication against the backdrop of the developing city. The large, new building boasts an impressive facade with white walls, tall columns, and intricate architectural details. Balconies adorn the upper floors, offering guests a panoramic view of the bustling street below. The image is filled with a sense of the 1930s, an era of progress and innovation. Cars line the road in front of the hotel, their shiny hoods reflecting the sunlight. The presence of these vehicles underscores the modernity and convenience that the Grand Hotel provided to its guests. The Grand Hotel was more than just a place to rest one's head; it was a symbol of the prosperity and ambition of Southern Rhodesia during the 1930s. The thirties were a time of growth and development in Bulawayo, and the Grand Hotel was at the heart of it all. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of history that speaks to the allure and charm of a bygone era.
