This 1914 postcard documents Richardson Hall at St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York, reflecting early twentieth-century campus architecture and institutional growth in northern New York.
Founded in the mid-nineteenth century, St. Lawrence University developed a campus plan that emphasized substantial academic buildings set within landscaped grounds. Richardson Hall served as a prominent instructional structure, and the view emphasizes its solid masonry construction, symmetrical design, and formal approach paths typical of collegiate architecture of the period.
This postcard shows Richardson Hall framed by mature trees and open lawn, with the building name printed directly in the image caption. The card is postmarked and includes a written message on the back, reinforcing its use as a mailed primary-source artifact from 1914.
