Black and white panoramic view looking towards the Savannah River from the Hotel De Soto. The card is folded in half with the left side for message and the right side for address. The card has no publication information or caption on it. The right side is undivided and postmarked May 27, 1907. Just to the right of the center fold is the Independent Presbyterian Church steeple. The building was originally built in 1819, but was destroyed by fire in 1889. The current building, completed in 1891, was a replica of the previous building.

The DeSoto Hotel, where this image was taken from, was located on Liberty Street between Bull and Drayton.
