A long past summer day remains frozen in time through the handwritten words of a woman named Ida. This undivided back postcard depicts the imposing red brick architecture of the original City Hall in Canton, Ohio, a landmark that once stood as a proud symbol of the city civic life. The personal message written across the bottom dated July 21, 1908 connects you directly to a moment of early 20th century friendship and local news.
