Memorial Hall, 1910
I’m going to start posting images of old postcards. This is a nice sepia, divided back view of Memorial Hall, aka Cullum Hall. The text is a note home by a plebe. Note the Dade Monument in front of Cullum. The building, designed by the famous McKim, Mead, and White, is only about a decade old at the time of this photo. The reverse reads:
“6/4–10: This is the dance hall of West Point—Cullum Hall. Don’t worry, It will be a year before I go there for that purpose. FWH”
If you’d like a scan of this postcard for home printing (5.5”x3.5”), keep scrolling to the bottom.
