Description |
This is a postcard, published by C.R. Childs photograph postcards, Chicago, Illinois, of 95th Street looking west. It was sent by a woman named Ellen to Miss Viola Wofe, 504 N. Busey Street, Urbana, Illinois. The front of the card has a sepia toned photo of a metal bridge that once crossed over Oak Lawn Creek, although the postcard labels the creek's name as "Valley". On the right several houses are visible, including one believed to be the Chiappetta home formerly located at 5418 West 95th Street. The title, "95th St Bridge over Valley Creek Oak Lawn ILL" is printed in white in the lower right corner. The back of the card has preprinted text, a handwritten message, and a one cent stamp with a faded postmark. |
