Summary
Photo shows the Fast Hotel, Jerusalem.
The American Colony in Jerusalem was a Christian utopian community that was established in Jerusalem in the late 19th century. The community was founded by a group of American and Swedish Christian fundamentalists who were drawn to the city for religious reasons. They arrived in Jerusalem in 1881 and established a commune in the Old City, where they lived, worked, and worshiped together. The American Colony became well-known for its photography and film production, with members of the colony, who were mainly photographers, capturing the life, culture, and landscape of Palestine and Jerusalem. The American Colony continued to exist until the 1940s when the community was dissolved and its members dispersed.
Hotel Howard in Jerusalem was built in 1891 by German architect Theodor Sandel, then renamed as Hotel Fast in 1907.

The coronation of George VI and his wife Elizabeth as king and queen of the United Kingdom and the Dominions of the British Commonwealth took place at Westminster Abbey, London, on 12 May 1937 and celebrated in all dominions and territories of British Empire.

After WWII broke out, the British took over the hotel and turned it into a base for Australian troops.
