This Swiss Cottage is located in Rockford Illinois and was built in 1865 by businessman and one-time Mayor Robert Hall. Today the cottage is a museum open to the public and filled with original furnishings.

What a GREAT idea to showcase these beautiful post cards. I loved seeing them. In today's world of quick emails, what a treat to find a post card in the mail box. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHey, wait! That iconic Holiday Inn sign brings back childhood memories. Kids on my street would brag that they stayed in a Holiday Inn. My family never did. As kids 7-9, we thought this was "cool". I think Holiday Inns are more corporate now. Fun post and here via Hilary!
