THE NEWPORT POSTCARD MUSEUM

8.This card titled: 'Perry House, Newport, R.I.' is postmarked Sept 13, 1909 (Jamestown). To a Miss Augusta Swensen of La Crosse, Wis from Isabella who writes: 'Carl told me to send you this postal. He is well. Answer soon.' Printed by The Robbins Bros. Co. Boston, Mass and Germany. I include this card to detail the wonder gas light in the center of the card. The person who is walking up the street would be today walking in front of the Opera House Movie Theater: wouldn't it be wonderful if that theater looked like the image in this card.
