chs-014327Description
This monochrome photo postcard captures the Chester (N.Y.) Public School, a large two-story brick building featuring several rows of windows and two chimneys, it stands serenely surrounded by a grassy field with a few scattered shrubs; the environment and architectural style hint at an early 20th-century timeframe, evidenced further by the slightly weathered condition of the photograph itself, marked with "Kerner 36" at the bottom right corner.
The reverse shows an antique postcard featuring intricate handwriting across the left side under the header "Post Card," with distinct sections for correspondence and address. A red two-cent U.S. postage stamp commemorating George Washington is affixed at the top right corner, postmarked with the date "April 29, 1918." The postcard is addressed to "Mr. Fred Nelson" at "531 Superior St., Aurora, Ill."Subject Place
