chs-012621Description
This monochrome photo postcard depicts the ruins of a partially collapsed wooden structure, the Wagon Makers Shop at Craigville. The surrounding landscape appears barren, with a few leafless trees and scattered debris, underlining the desolation of the scene. The photograph's sepia tone adds to its historical feel, evoking a sense of the past.
The image shows a vintage postcard dated April 16, 1912, with a handwritten message and a one-cent U.S. postage stamp featuring Benjamin Franklin. The card’s postmark is clearly visible, and it is addressed to Miss Edna Comday in Brooklyn, New York. The written message indicates that the sender, Mabel, is doing well, keeping busy with sewing, having made a suit and two shirtwaists. Mabel expresses happiness about receiving papers from Edna.Subject Place
