1908 Postcard: The Polk Street Depot, Chicago, IL

This "white border" postcard features a view of the Polk Street Depot of Chicago, Illinois. This is part of a collection of photos and old postcards I purchased from a local antiques store.

Edith, as she signed herself, mailed this from Waco, Texas to Mr.. & Mrs. Roy Farmer of Fort Worth, Texas. She informs them that she has arrived safe & sound but has been sick with fever every day since. Postmarked August 18, 1908, it bears a one-cent stamp.
