Description

A real photographic postcard of Pacific Electric station, San Dimas, California, ca. 1910s. The station is a wooden structure on the left of this postcard with benches, and a "Waiting Room" sign, wooden ramp, hand truck, and water basin on the exterior. To the right is a stage for the San Dimas City Band and another building. Between the station and stage appears to be a small orchard. This station opened in 1911 and the stamp box is from 1906 to 1915 so this postcard was printed between 1911 and 1915. With minor mirroring along the left edge, the object is in good overall condition.
