Colonial Arcade, Circa 1913

Colonial Arcade, Circa 1913
In this postcard view of the Colonial Arcade, circa 1913, no store or office names are visible. The removal of details was a common practice among postcard printers as they tried to create what historian Alison Isenberg has called a "unified streetscape." Clearly the unified streetscape ideal extended to interior spaces such as arcades. | Source: J. Mark Souther Postcard Collection
