Postcard Greetings
from Old Louisville
"Residence Section,
South Third Ave, Louisville, Ky"
Shows west side of the 1500 block of Third Avenue
between Hill Street and Gaulbert.
All of these homes are all still standing, but such a clear view can no longer be had because time has added a lush wealth of trees and plantings.
The tinted post card at the top was mailed in 1909, the black and white version in 1907. For the enlargements, because of how the post cards were printed, the black & white version is the sharpest image with the best detail.
