Vintage Christmas Postcards Sent In Pennsylvania

 

Postmarked 1907, Harrisburg
The new capitol building was built from 1902-1906.  It was dedicated in 1906 with approximately 5,000 people in attendance, and President Theodore Roosevelt as the keynote speaker.

Why they randomly stuck a photo of the building over the head of a figure on a Christmas postcard, I do not know.  :-)
