There is a vibrant sense of community pride in seeing the very cornerstone of civic life exactly as it stood when a burgeoning city first found its voice. This postcard captures the old City Hall in Canton, Ohio, a grand brick and stone landmark that once housed everything from the mayor offices to the central fire engine station. The high quality printing and royal heraldry on the reverse remind us that even a simple piece of local news was once treated with the artistic dignity of a royal commission.
