This vintage postcard features the historic Rice Hotel in Houston, Texas, a prominent architectural landmark from the early 20th century. The image showcases the grand multi-story building with detailed windows and classical cornices, capturing the elegance of Houston's cityscape during the early 1900s. Rendered in soft pastel tones with hand-coloring typical of postcards from the Divided Back era (1907-1915), this card perfectly reflects the period's printing techniques and artistic style.Postmarked in Houston in 1909, the postcard bears a one-cent green U.S. postage stamp and includes handwritten correspondence, adding to its authenticity and historical value. The postcard measures the standard 5.5 x 3.5 inches and represents a collectible piece of Americana, ideal for collectors interested in Texas history, vintage city views, or early 20th-century postcards. The Rice Hotel itself is a significant landmark, and this original postcard offers a glimpse into Houston's past and its architectural heritage.
