This vintage postcard showcases the striking 1986 Ice Palace in St. Paul, Minnesota, illuminated beautifully against the night sky. The castle, built entirely of ice, commemorates the centennial of the original Ice Palace constructed 100 years earlier. Standing over 128 feet tall, this impressive structure was crafted through the dedicated volunteer labor and donated materials at Lake Phalen, one of St. Paul's finest parks.

Captured by Chada Associates, the photo emphasizes the glowing, translucent ice blocks that compose the palace, enhanced by colored lighting that adds an enchanting ambiance to the scene. This postcard is an evocative piece of Minnesota history and a collectible item for enthusiasts of unique architectural wonders, winter festivals, and regional memorabilia.
