Description

This postcard features a color illustration of Bishop Thompson's Chapel, St. Columb's, in Jackson, Mississippi. The chapel is a one story, stone structure with a stone bell tower at the main front entrance. A small, house style addition with a front porch and a sloped roof is on the left end of the chapel. St. Columb’s Chapel in West Jackson was built by the Episcopal Bishop H. M. Thompson. Bishop Thompson of the Episcopal Church opened this chapel on Battle Hill in West Jackson sometime after the Civil War as a missionary venture. This chapel was consecrated April 26, 1894. The back of the chapel is addressed to Miss Lutil Marks in Denton, Texas. The card is postmarked Jackson, Mississippi, June 10, 1911 and a green, one cent Benjamin Franklin postage stamp is place in the upper right corner, mostly obscured by the postmark ink. An inscription is written on the left half of the card. [see transcription field]
