Note: During World War II, the U.S. Navy assigned some officers to the rooms in the Columbus as Bachelor Officers' Quarters. In or before 1956, the Columbus, at 312 N.E. 1st Street, Miami, had its entire top floor revamped into a dine, dance and drink spot, called the Top O' The Columbus, with a magnificent view of Miami Biscayne Bay and Miami Beach. Later the property was razed and replaced by a strip mall. Inscription on verso. Postmark: Aug. 22, 19[42 or 48] "Genuine Curteich-Chicago" C.T. Art-Colortone" post card."
