Photo postcard, with a black and white photo of the Scandinavian Salvation Army corps building at 136 Oak Street, Chicago, Illinois. The manufacturer's name in the stamp box is covered by a green, one-cent, Benjamin Franklin postal stamp. The postage mark is from Chicago, Illinois October 9, 1909 and has Kinzie on the cancellation mark. The message is from Ellen, addressed to Mrs. C.H. Nelson in Crystal Lake, Illinois.
The photo depicts a two story brick building. The first floor has three entryways; on the right and on the left and a larger gated entry in the center. The right and left entries possibly have stained glass over them. The second floor has a bow window in the center with a arched lintel over with FralsningsArmen carved on it. Above that, two columns protrude from the roof and each one has a cross carved on it. A brief message and caption are handwritten on the white border below the image.
A handwritten note was taped to the back of the postcard. Its message reads: Irving Park Corps 1907-Sept Corps at 136 Oak St. Dec 1909 they moved to 367 W. Oak St.Acquisition
