Hillsboro Public School postcard

Description

Black and white image of Hillsboro Public School on the front of a postcard. The building is two-story, Queen Anne style, with a front entrance and bell tower and sits in a large open yard. Two church steeples rise in the distance. Printed postcards such as this were a common way to share photographs in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. A one cent postage stamp is affixed to the back.
