Postcard publishers often combined churches, schoolhouses, and hillside residences into a single layout to represent local identity in condensed visual form. Divided-back cards of this period allowed for correspondence while preserving the full image panel on the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"789\" data-end=\"1210\"\u003eThe card features three views labeled Old School Baptist Church, The Little School House on the Hill, and M. E. Church, with the header Halcottsville, N. Y. in the Catskills printed across the top.
