Description

Color: Color A postcard of the home Herbert Hoover, ca. 1920s. The black and white image shows the two-story home at center with a flat roof, two towers on the left side, and flanking patios on the second floor. There are some trees and bushes on top of both patios. Some ivy and bushes partially hide the walls and windows on the second floor and on the left side. Flowers and trees line the front of the structure where there is also part of a wide driveway. Across the top are the words, "Home of Herbert Hoover, The Campus, Stanford University, Calif.," and on the right corner is, "6274." Down the back center is the logo of the Pacific Novelty Company, and within a square on the top right is the word, "STAMP." With only light abrasions and creases on the corners, the object is in good condition.
