Description

Postcard: A black and white postcard of Covina landmarks, ca. 1910s. Shown at upper left is a photograph of the city's public library, a small one-story Greek revival building. At lower left is a drawing of the Woman's Club house, which is largely obscured by trees, though the walls are faced with long vertical lines of dark wood. At lower right is a drawing of the Covina Union High School, a large square two-story building with Greek-style columns at the front entrance. At upper right are the words "Covina/CALIFORNIA". A message on the rear is addressed to Sylvia Trask of Vermont by someone named Annie M. The postmark gives the day as 12 December, but no year, and there is a one-cent stamp. Purchased from Mark Kittinger and in fair condition with discoloration and stains at upper rear right and several on the front. There is a message on the card.
