Description

This is an official post card of the Mississippi Centennial Exposition featuring the Coliseum, built in the same architectural style as all the exposition buildings--a long, structure with decorative moldings along the roof and arched windows and doors. Flags fly from the roof raised decorative moldings. Flower-lined walkways lead up to the building. The title at the top of the card notes the exposition was supposed to last from Dec. 10, 1917 to June 10, 1918. The title identifying the Manufacturers Building is at the bottom edge of the card.
