Woodstock, IL City Hall (Opera House) - L.T. Hoy
Title
Woodstock, IL City Hall (Opera House) - L.T. Hoy
Description
This colorized postcard shows the City Hall/Opera House sometime between 1889, when it was built, until 1912 when the Square streets were paved and new lights with globes were installed. The older type of light, with a tall pole and small lights hanging from the top, is visible to the immediate left of the front tower.
It was printed after 1907, when the postal service permitted messages to be written on the back along with the address.
Luman T. Hoy had a drug store at 100 Cass from 1881-1928. He had this postcard printed in Germany as part of the PCK Series, number 3684.
