Key Details About the Image
The Location: This building opened its doors in 1941 at 1600 Louisiana Street in downtown Houston to replace an older 1908 facility. It featured 10 floors of athletic facilities, community spaces, and residential dormitories. It also notably served as the early home for the South Texas College of Law Houston. The historic building was later demolished in 2011 to make way for a modern layout.
The Postcard: It is an authentic Curt Teich "Art-Colortone" linen postcard. The production code printed on the bottom right corner (0B-H1837) chronologically dates the postcard's printing to exactly 1940. The "0B" prefix signifies the year 1940, and the "H" designates the iconic linen printing process
