1947 Kentucky State University Main Building in Lexington

Take a stroll through time with this 1947 postcard of the Main Building at Kentucky State University in Lexington. With its stately brick façade and towering cupola, this building stood as the proud heart of campus life for generations of students. Built in the late 19th century, it served many roles over the years—classrooms, administrative offices, and even a chapel under its roof. In its earlier days, the lofty tower played host to weather observations, gazing out over the Bluegrass landscape. By the mid-20th century, it was more than just a building; it was a symbol of progress, scholarship, and the aspirations of a growing university.

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