Description
The Nelson House in Poughkeepsie, NY, stands tall in this vintage postcard, a multi-story brick building with a striking spire and surrounding street scene details. A bee illustration graces the back, next to a handwritten message from Aunt Ada detailing a safe arrival home after a rainy night. This postcard dates from approximately the 1910s.

Dear Josephine,
I arrived home safe, but was tired out. Found one all O.K. Every-
thing is O.K. It rained all night and is raining now. Will write more next week.
Love to yourself,
Your aunt Ada
