Old Postcards: Frankfort Capitol Building

Beautiful pieces of art, and little historic documents! Click on the image, and get a good look at them. Go ahead, I will wait.

I told you!

The top one is unused and looks amazing.

The bottom one made a trip through the US post. It reads, "The Capitol Bldg. at Frankfort, Ky. is among the finest in the country, the Tomb being a reproduction of Napoleon's Tomb. Stairways are fashioned after the Paris Opera."

If I ended this blog entry here, you would think to yourself, "Hey, that was a nice blog entry!"

Well, there is a bit more. The bottom postcard was sent from a soldier to "Dad". The soldier was on his way to Ft. Thomas. "Free" is written where the stamp should go, and it is postmarked, December 7th, 1943. "Buy War Savings Bonds and Stamps" has been incorporated into the postmark.
