Description

This vintage chrome-era postcard features a striking architectural view of the San Mateo County Historical Museum, located on the College of San Mateo campus at 1700 West Hillsdale Boulevard. The image captures the Mid-Century Modern design of the building, characterized by its expansive glass facade with distinctive arched window frames and a prominent overhanging roofline. The vibrant color photography by Brian Bennett showcases the clean lines and institutional aesthetic of the 1960s California educational landscape. Produced by Executive Press of Palo Alto, California, this postcard serves as a wonderful historical record of the San Mateo County Historical Association's previous location. The back of the card is formatted for mailing with a clear 'Post Card' header and the original address information for the museum. This piece is ideal for collectors of San Francisco Bay Area history, collegiate architecture, or Mid-Century Modern institutional design.

  1. 5/5 stars! When I opened up this package There was not only the one post card I purchased but 2 extra neat ship post cards in between, My guess why Was to keep the one Card i brought safe from any potential damage. but since it was 2 extra ship post cards, that I didn’t have to pay for which was a nice surprise. this seller Definitely went the extra distance on this order! Kudos on this one! Oh and It’s was already laminated which was very appreciated by me! In summary everything was done right!
