This postcard displays an old, sepia-toned architectural rendering of the proposed three-story Chester Public School building, featuring an American flag atop and clear, distinct architectural details. Handwritten text on the top left corner says "This is our new school Mary." Below, the building's impressive facades and arched windows reflect typical early 20th-century public school architecture in the United States. The address side of the "Proposed Chester Public School" postcard features a canceled one-cent Benjamin Franklin stamp in green, postmarked from Rochester, NY, dated 6 PM, Aug 23, 1905. The postcard is addressed to "[M]iss M[unreadable] Curtis" at "182 - 18 St, Jersey City, N.J." The upper left corner has handwritten notes, and the card has aged with some stains and a torn top left corner.Subject Place
