Post Card Greetings
from Louisville

"City Hall Annex and
City Hall, Louisville, Ky."
Post card mailed in May 1924
This is
the view from Jefferson Street looking northeast. The Greco-Roman annex
building, along with the Greek revival courthouse in the distance frame the Renaissance
Italianate French Empire City Hall. And who said Victorians didn't
have a sense of humor! The red brick corner of the (Romanesque)
firehouse can be seen on the left of the picture.
An
interesting, though sad message on the back of this postcard:
Dear
Mother and Sister,
How is sweety today. drop you a few lines to let you know
Beauty is dead. she died some time through the night. I
think she had Pneumonia. she was suffering all day. we
done every wath to do for her
