As we continue with the "unusual buildings" theme going into the Labor day weekend, I have selected a private residence and a public library. The residence belonged to George M. Pullman, of pullman railroad car fame, and is located on one of the islands in Thousand Islands New York. This bird's eye view brings to mind the old real estate adage of "Location, location, location!" and illustrates just how much this mansion towered over the "humble" homes on the nearby islands. This postcard is available in my New York listings, along with more than 10,000 additional postcards, available on my website at Moody's Postcards.

The public library is a massive building located in Butte Montana with beautiful windows and entrance ways set off from the red stone in white stone work that is masterfully done. Based on the size of the building, all of the books in Montana must have been kept here.This postcard is available in my Montana listings, along with more than 10,000 additional postcards, available on my website at Moody's Postcards.
