Sweetwater park hotel

[Bmerck]

Was wondering if the s-w.p.h room key tag i found (it was found not far from where the hotel sat) would have any value would? Sweetwater park hlwas was in lithia springs ga ,from about 1890s unitll it burnt down around 1912 . so idk h1912 many might have made it through the fire i havent seen another one anywhere online . so do you think it would have value to the rigjt person

Looks like a luggage tag to me. Cool find and, yes, I would think someone wants it. I don't see any evidence of it being in a fire.

Cool find! I use to live in Lithia Springs, went to high school there too. So there was a hotel at Sweetwater Park?? I never knew that.

So it wasn't inside the present day park. Very interesting article in the link. I never knew it existed. And lived there many years.

Very cool find. I used to teach in Lithia Springs and never knew about this place. I think it would certainly have some small value to a local history collector.
