Notes

I identified this card by the unusual shape of the apartment building, with recessed foyers on the fronts of both sides. I also used the appearance of a church at the far left, as well as the flat-roofed house on the right, to confirm.

This building was demolished between 2001 [when it was mentioned in the Springfield Republican as being taken by the City of Holyoke] and 2007 [when the first Google Street View picture was taken].

The two houses on the right, as well as the church and rectory, are still standing.

Reverse Text

No reverse text, but the front says "Apartment where we lived? when married 1905".

Addressee

Postally unused
