Wow, thats a lot of Danvers PCs you got the WSH! I like that last color Clarinda PC, looks like they forgot to have Clark Griswold move the station wagon.

K'zoo, MI. "Here is where I'll land soon"

Moose Lake, MN. They put an arrow on the picture, but only said something about going to church since it was one of the few times to "get out".

Pontiac, MI

Winnebago WI, post-Kirkbride & pretty boring!

A few more that I finally scanned. I recently got the Spencer one and and one labeled "portion of Weston, WV". The other ones I keep on display and not in my album, hence why they didn't get scanned in the first round. Spencer, WV Admin. 2 of Weston The most recent Weston PC that they made. My favorite of Worcester

I'm sure you guys have all seen this nice sepia tone panoramic of Clarinda State Hospital Iowa, but have you ever seen the original tri-fold post card? They obviously used the same negative image.

Very cool WSH! I have the photo hanging on the wall, but I never saw that postcard before. The originals are on the Library of Congress website as well http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?pan:1:./temp/~ammem_zUwi::@@@mdb=gottscho,hh,cmns,al...
