1923 Riverside California Glenwood Mission Inn's Court of Birds

Postmarked in 1923, this beautifully printed postcard shows an aerial view of the Court of the Birds at the Glenwood Mission Inn in Riverside, California. Nestled within the elaborate grounds of the historic inn, the Court of the Birds is a charming, tucked-away courtyard named for the chirping songbirds that once flitted among its tiles and fountains. The Mission Inn, already a landmark by the 1920s, was famed for its eclectic blend of architecture and its maze of gardens, chapels, and courtyards. This view captures the layered rooftops, warm stucco walls, and lush greenery that made the inn feel like a living museum of California's romantic past.

This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
