Post Card Greetings
from Old Louisville
"Fountain Court, Louisville KY"
The Fountain, looking south, St. James Court
Mailed 1911, card by Bagby Howe Drug Co.
This must be a rare view, as it took several years of looking to find one that shows the center of St. James Court as we know it today, and not just the original Fourth & Magnolia entrance.
This card was originally mailed July 7, 1911 to Alexandria, VA, with the message:
"Louisville, Ky.
9-a.m. 7-7-11
This is one of the prettiest cities I have ever seen. It has 200.000 population. I wish you were with me. There are some of the nicest cozy little corners here you ever saw. Best wishes."
