Offered here is an original real photo postcard documenting the construction of the Crow Wing County Fair Association’s Main Exhibit Building, dating to approximately 1908–1914.

The view shows the early foundation work, stacked timber, framing materials, and a horse-drawn wagon on site, with several workmen gathered along the lumber piles. The handwritten caption identifies the project and notes that the contract work was being carried out by Evans & Johnson of Pequot, Minnesota, providing excellent local provenance. The rural pine backdrop reflects the landscape of early Crow Wing County as the fairgrounds were being developed into a permanent exhibition space. The postcard is printed on period AZO stock and remains in very good condition with strong detail. A scarce Minnesota fair-construction RPPC with named builders and direct regional historical interest.

Condition:
Heavy creasing present, along with light general wear and toning. No tears observed. Reverse is clean and unused with correct AZO stamp box.
