Antique Postcards (19) Syracuse NY Downtown Historic Places Buildings Churches

Description: Phenomenal history of the areas around Downtown Syracuse in this collection of (19) different antique postcards issued from the first decade of the 20th century to the 1940s. They are a mix of real photos, fine German lithography, white border and linen types. There are both divided and undivided backs. (11 )have been postally-used and (8) are unused. From an estate. As is common with old paper-based items, there is a slight musty smell to the group. No evidence of water damage. All cards are imaged front and back. All have a dealer price written lightly in pencil on the address side. Without regard to this, I have graded the postcards as if they were trading cards. Each is detailed below as to: Subject, Card stock number where shown, Manufacturer/issuer of card where shown, (foreign country where printed - where not indicated, printed in US), used/unused, postmark info, city/town posted to and condition. 1.

Mizpah Hotel and First Baptist Church, opened 1915, was the first structure that combined a church with a hotel. 125 rooms were added above the Gothic church space primarily because the new YMCA that opened nearby did not meet the demand for rooms.
