Description

This postcard features a black and white image of a building at Belhaven College in Jackson, Mississippi. The building is two stories with a long front porch and second floor balcony and a large cupola in the middle of the roof. People are seen seated on the steps at the porch. A tall tree stump is beside the driveway to the left of the building and a smaller building sits further back at the end of a short driveway. The title is printed beneath the bottom edge of the image and inscriptions are written at the top and bottom of the card. The back of the card is addressed to Miss Sulu Rolling in New York City, New York. The card is postmarked Jackson, Miss., August 8, 1907 and a green, one cent Benjamin Franklin postage stamp is placed in the upper right corner.
