Description
Nice hand-colored postcard image from 1909 showing The Emporium, one of downtown St. Paul’s largest department stores for decades. Built in 1902, the Emporium remained open until the late 1960s, even opening a couple of other stores. Think how great this would look on your wall – and what a thoughtful, memorable gift this would make!
Saint Paul, the state capital of Minnesota, forms the “Twin Cities” with neighboring Minneapolis. It’s home to the Science Museum of Minnesota, with its dinosaur specimens and immersive theater. The Minnesota History Center has interactive exhibits about the region’s history. Nearby is the beaux arts Cathedral of Saint Paul. The Cass Gilbert–designed Minnesota State Capitol features paintings of Civil War scenes.
A bit of history, fantastic for both current and former residents, and makes a great gift! This is a reproduction from an original 1909 postcard. Available in 3.5 inch x 5.5 inch postcards and prints from 4 inch by 6 inch to 13 inch by 19 inch sizes.
