Traveling the Rails in Grand Style
Photographs and Supplemental Materials of the Fred Harvey Hotels, 1896-1945
Fred Harvey (1835-1901) began a partnership with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway in 1878. In 1889, the Railway gave Harvey exclusive rights to manage and operate his eating houses, lunch stands, and hotel facilities upon the Santa Fe's railroads west of the Missouri River. The Harvey Houses took pride in their first class food, service, and cleanliness.

They try to get a little cute withn with the navigation. Finding Aid takes you to the pictures.
I had never heard of Fred Harvey until I saw a picture and link at this Public Address 3.0. That afternoon I ran across this page at MEFI with many other links about Fred Harvey hotels and restaurants. Pictures of a way of life that revolved around the railroad. A way of life long gone. |
