Wilhelmina Hotel in Ruins. Photos taken by B.F. Lynch around 1937-1939 Mr Lynch was a freelance Photographer who had a studio at Camp Chafee during WWII. Postcards of that Camp and area still show up from time to time. These Photographs were submitted to me by friends of BF Lynch's family, H.E. Huber of Plano, Texas
