Chester School: This monochrome photo postcard captures the 1906 two-story brick school building under construction, identified as "Chester School" by the handwritten inscription on the bottom. Several workmen are in front of the building's main entrance. The architecture features prominent window structures and brickwork, characterized by an early 20th-century American design, complemented by minimal landscaping and an overcast sky. The photograph, faded and aged, retains a nostalgic memory of educational history.
