Description

This postcard features a color illustration of a Baptist Church in Gulfport, Mississippi, a three story building with a gabled roof, four Colossal Ionic columns across the front porch and a tall staircase leading to the entrance. A wide cupola is in the center of the roof and trees and sidewalks line the church lawn. The title of the card is printed along the bottom left edge of the card. The back of the card is addressed to Mrs. W. N. Vance in Chicago Heights, Illinois and is postmarked Jackson, R. P. O, March 30, 1921. A green, one cent George Washington postage stamp is placed in the upper right corner and an inscription is written on the left half of the card. [see transcription field] A paragraph in the upper left describes Gulfport as the "Church center" and speaks of the pride of the churches in the area.
