es, these cards are all from the exact same era, specifically the 1960s to early 1970s.In the history of postcards, this specific style is universally known as the Chrome Era (which began around 1939 and continues today).You can tell they are matching pieces from the same mid-century tourist boom by looking at a few distinct clues:1. Consistent Printing TechnologyAll four cards utilize high-gloss, vivid photo-offset lithography. The rich color palette, distinct bright sky blues, and sharp contrast are siThe building featured in the top-right postcard is Government House (also historically known as the Governor's Palace). Over its long history, this landmark has served as the Spanish governor's official residence, a colonial administrative headquarters, a U.S. Courthouse, and a post office.Because the structure was destroyed, rebuilt, and heavily remodeled multiple times, it does not have just one single architect:Robert Mills: The famed architect of the Washington Monument redesigned and rebuilt the structure into a functional federal courthouse and custom house between 1833 and 1834. He notably stripped away the building's original Spanish crenellated tower and grand portico.Mellen Greeley: A prominent Jacksonville architect spearheaded a massive Works Progress Administration (WPA) remodeling project from 1935 to 1937. Greeley used a historic 1764 watercolor painting as a reference to deliberately strip away later modifications and restore its authentic, classic 18th-century Spanish colonial appearance.William M. Kimball: He also left a major mark on the design by executing extensive remodeling plans in 1873.The postcard in the bottom right corner shows the Oldest Wooden School House, which is located on St. George Street in St. Augustine, Florida.Key Historical FactsConstruction: The precise construction date is unknown, but it first appeared on local Spanish tax records in 1716. It is celebrated as the oldest standing wooden school building in the United States.Materials: The rustic structure was built entirely by hand using native bald cypress and red cedar. The planks were held together with wooden pegs and handmade iron spikes.Hurricane Chain: If you look closely at the building today, you will see a massive iron chain wrapped around it. This was added in 1937 to help anchor the lightweight wooden building to the ground during major hurricanes.School Life: The schoolmaster and his family lived on the cramped second floor directly above the one-room classroom. The kitchen was placed in a completely separate outdoor building to minimize the risk of fire and keep the main house cool.This is a postcard featuring a watercolor illustration of the Guy DeNoel French Pastry Shop in St. Augustine, Florida.The bakery was a beloved institution in St. Augustine, opening in 1966 and remaining in business for 48 years.The shop was famous for authentic French treats made from scratch, including croissants, baguettes, and various pastries.Vintage postcards like this one were often produced during the 1960s.
