This postcard depicts an early 20th-century scene on Whitehall Street in Atlanta, looking north from Hunter Street (later Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive SW). The Hirsch Building, designed by G.L. Norrman and completed in 1890, is faintly visible on the right.
Mrs. D. wrote on the back:
“June 27 –
We reached Atlanta yesterday covered with clay mud. Roads are very bad up here. Are going to leave machine here til later I think. Tell Harold we still have Fla air in our tires. We got in one mud hole – I think that’s doing fine.”
Published by I.F. Company of Atlanta, the card was postmarked in Atlanta on June 27, 1912, and addressed to Mrs. H.H. Francis in Seven Oaks, Pinellas County, Florida.
