This original 1907 postcard features the historic McKinley Residence in Canton, Ohio—the home of President William McKinley and his wife, Ida. A notable site in American political history, the McKinley home was a place of national attention during McKinley's presidency and a symbol of the quiet dignity he was known for. Though the original house was demolished in 1910, this postcard preserves its image in rich early-20th-century detail, showcasing the architectural style and landscape that surrounded one of the era's most influential leaders.
Printed shortly after McKinley’s assassination in 1901, this card likely served as a commemorative keepsake, part of a broader wave of national mourning and remembrance. It offers not only a glimpse into American history but also a piece of early postcard artistry, with its softly tinted lithograph and divided back format introduced in the same year.
Perfect for framing to add a touch of historic charm to your space, it also makes a thoughtful hostess gift or a standout addition to any collector’s trove of presidential or Ohio memorabilia.
