Description

Extra tall black and white postcard featuring the stone steps leading up to St. Peter's church at Harpers Ferry. A telephone pole, and several buildings are visible in the foreground. A description is printed in red ink on the front: "The 'Stone Steps,' anciently carved in virgin rock/ 'A sweet, worn town, with old world air,/ A street that climbs on a stone-laid stair/To tableland and green plateau,/With the Shenandoah's song below."
