As the Hotel Galvez winds up for its big 100th anniversary next month -- details announced today include a big fireworks display over the Gulf -- let's take a look at the typical room in 1911.Images courtesy Hotel Galvez Luxury, 1911-style. We assume this picture comes from a 100-year-old tweet.
We don't know how much it cost, but it's cozy. We see NO outlets for rechargers, and we don't know if wi-fi is available. But, you know, there are plenty of mirrors, including the three-part table one, which looks suspiciously placed in order to reflect any bed activity.
And maybe that bedroom fun would be with this buxom wench. After all, anyone willing to show the degree of stocking this wanton lass is displaying must be a real kitten in the sack.
Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
