919 - 922 Purchase St.
New Bedford, Massachusetts
Date unknown. The facade in the illustration looks art deco and Prohibition ended in December 1933, so I'm guessing this is from the 1930s or 1940s. A check of Google maps shows that Purchase Street addresses now go no higher than 908, ending at Middle Street, so the building that contained this hotel and eatery was probably demolished. This area is the "heart of downton Bedford", and the Atlantic must've been a pretty swank place in its time.
