Hotel on the Dixie Highway – Waterford Michigan c1910

Two Early Automobiles, Several People And A Horse-Drawn Buggy Stand Outside A Large Two-Story Hotel With Wraparound Porches In Waterford, Michigan.

Two early automobiles and a horse-drawn buggy stand outside the Waterford Hotel in Waterford, Michigan. The large two-story hotel had served travelers long before motorists arrived: Waterford Township records say construction began in 1841, and the building later operated as Bradt’s Exchange, the Waterford Exchange and the Waterford Hotel. It was a stagecoach stop for more than 60 years.
