Craftsman-Style Bungalow Home Postmarked Spokane Washington 1913 Vintage RPPC Postcard     31635

This Real Photo Postcard shows a Craftsman-style bungalow house set among tall pine trees, with a gently curving concrete walkway leading up to the front steps. The house features classic Craftsman details such as low-pitched gabled roofs, wide overhanging eaves, exposed rafter tails, and a broad front porch supported by sturdy square columns. Multi-light windows frame the enclosed sunroom on the left, and the combination of shingle siding and brickwork gives the home a solid, handcrafted appearance. The surrounding evergreens create a quiet, wooded setting typical of early residential neighborhoods in the Inland Northwest.

The postcard is postmarked May 27, 1913, from Spokane, Washington, and it carries a green 1-cent George Washington stamp. It was mailed to Clear Lake, Iowa, with a handwritten message covering much of the reverse. Although the sender did not note an exact street location, the architectural style and the Spokane postmark place the home within the Spokane area during the early twentieth century.
