The school is depicted as a large, three story building with a bell tower in the center of the roof, arched windows in the front, and a line of trees in the front yard, partially obscuring the view of the school. The title and publisher of the card is printed along the bottom beneath the image. The back of the card is addressed to Miss Lucile H. Cordrey in San Francisco, California. The card is postmarked Memphis Terminal Railway Post Office, October 1908 and a green, one cent Benjamin Franklin postage stamp is placed in the upper right corner of the card.
