Description

This postcard features a black and white image of a view of the school in Greenwood, Mississippi, two, three story buildings with a gazebo and playground on the lawn. The building in the front has two towers on the front, a taller, square tower with a steeple is on the left and a round tower with a chimney behind it is to the right. The building behind it is less ornate with no towers. Trees partially obscure the back building. A group of children are gathered in a semi-circle on the front lawn. The title of the card is printed along the bottom left edge of the card. The back of the card is addressed to Mr. Frank L Dittmerier in St. Louis, Missouri and is postmarked Moorhead, Mississippi, May 3, 1918. A red, two cent George Washington postage stamp is placed in the upper right corner and an inscription is written on the left half of the card.
