Description

This black and white postcard features a white two story building with two chimneys on the roof, a sidewalk leading up to it, and street lights and trees in front. A sign along the roofline reads "Irwin Russell Memorial" and the title along the top of the card reads "Irwin Russell Memorial, (Museum, City Hall and Library), Port Gibson, Miss." The date and an inscription is written along the top, right, and bottom edges. The back of the postcard identifies the item as a postcard and provides publisher information as well as indication for postage stamp placement. The card is stained in several places and also has damage from glue removal in the two top corners.
