Condition: Very Good. 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.

Period full-cloth album with a blue ink inscription "Ernestine S. Roberts St. Mary's School Knoxville Illinois" on the inner side of the front cover. One leaf detached, about six photos missing, two leafs with holes at the place of missing photos, photographs slightly age-toned, about three photos hand-colored, but overall a very good album with strong, interesting photos. Historically interesting collection of original photographs taken and collected by Ernestine S. Roberts during her studies at St. Mary's School (Knoxville, Illinois), documenting the student life of young American women on the eve of World War I. St. Mary's School was a small Episcopal boarding and day school for girls founded in the 1860s under the Diocese of Quincy. It combined academic instruction with religious education, music, and the arts, reflecting ideals of refinement for young women of the period. Many students came from the Chicago area, and the school offered extensive facilities, including a swimming pool, bowling alley, theater, and landscaped grounds with a private park, tree-lined paths, and a pond. The main building closed in the early 1930s due to disrepair and was demolished in 1936, leaving only the chapel and observatory. The former grounds are now part of James Knox Park, where remnants of the original landscape have largely changed over time. The album contains 202 lively vernacular photographs illustrating the early American experience of female students at a private boarding school. As St. Mary's School mainly served daughters of wealthy families, it is likely the compiler also came from a well-to-do local or nearby family. Most photographs were taken on the school grounds and show candid scenes of the compiler and her friends participating in traditional May Day celebrations, dancing around the maypole in French settlers' costumes, posing in groups with classmates, celebrating St. Patrick's Day, serving outdoor breakfasts, performing military drills, and taking part in other school activities. Importantly, the images also document the now largely destroyed grounds of the school, with the main building (bearing the school's name) and surrounding park still clearly visible. Most of the students are identified, including Japanese student Katsumi Naide of Osaka, dressed in a traditional kimono. The other excellent photographs primarily depict summer vacations, showing students and friends on outings at coastal and lakeside resorts such as Palm Beach and Star Island (Michigan), joyfully swimming in bathing caps and stockings, feeding ducks, eating corn, strolling through markets with baskets, and posing in a flying boat. There are also two interesting images capturing the well-known Star Island House and a crowded beach scene. Overall, historically interesting collection of private photographs, documenting the daily life of American female students in the early 1910s.
