Other information

The date and photographer are unknown. The information on the source webpage indicates the card was postmarked Dec. 1, 1945, over a decade after the old post office was demolished. Car and trolley tracks on street suggest it could have been taken in the 1920s, but that does not narrow it down sufficiently enough to state with certainty whether it was taken before 1929 and thus in the public domain, or after. So I, the uploader, have erred on the side of caution and consider it uncertain whether it is copyrighted or not, and have marked it as unsure and given it the appropriate tag and fair-use rationale in case it is not currently out of copyright
