Court House Woodstock, IL
Title
Court House Woodstock, IL
Description
This postcard photo is from a different angle than most others taken of the court house, since it shows the W. Jackson St. view of the building. This is to highlight the new addition that was completed in 1906. The trees must have been protected during construction since they obsure the view of most of the front details.
The photo does not take up the full front side of the postcard but leaves some space for a message. This reinforces the 1906 date since postal regulations changed in 1907, allowing messages on the back along with the address. This card was printed in 1907 or later, because it does have room for a message on the back.
