Update 2017 Nov 20:  Thanks to Joe Von Hatten who noticed that the hotel was called the Whitman Hotel in the 1920s when Robert Runyon took this photograph.  The caption below photo fails to mention two-story building next to it.  That was originally warehouse belonging to Charles Stillman which was once at bend in river facing Rio Grande and Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico.  The balcony looks like it had been replaced.
