This 1914 vintage postcard offers a stately view of the Colorado State Capitol in Denver, as seen from its beautifully landscaped grounds. Completed in 1894, this Neoclassical masterpiece stands as a gleaming symbol of the Centennial State, its gold-leaf dome reaching toward the clear blue sky above Capitol Hill. The handwritten message from Aunt Sarah in March 1914 captures a romantic, sun-drenched moment of Colorado life -warm enough to sit by the window and watch the snow-capped peaks in the distance.
