This charming 1930s postcard features the stately Courthouse, Post Office, and Custom House building in Louisville, Kentucky—a proud symbol of civic life in a growing river city. Built in the grand Beaux-Arts style, the building once stood as a bustling hub of federal activity, housing everything from mail sorting to legal proceedings, all under one impressive roof. Its tall columns and limestone façade reflect an era when public buildings were constructed to inspire confidence and permanence. Louisville, a key port on the Ohio River, relied on such institutions as it expanded its influence as a commercial gateway between North and South.
This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
