1905 Home of President McKinley Canton OH Postcard (UDB)

About This Vintage Postcard

There is a profound domestic stillness that settles over this view of President William McKinley family home where the ornate Victorian gables and sweeping wraparound porch reflect the unhurried elegance of the late 19th century. This postcard captures the residence exactly as it stood when it was the focus of the world during his historic 1896 front porch campaign. The addition of his portrait in the upper corner serves as a reminder of the impact this leader had on the nation from his own front door.
