Black and white photo-postcard of the Laura Virginia Groner Hall, East Texas Baptist College, in Marshall, Texas, taken sometime in the 1940s or early 1950s. The two-story brick dormitory has a wide full-height entrance porch with six square columns and with three dormers and a central cupola in the roof. All of the windows have shutters. Five metal chairs are visible on the porch. It is on a sloping grassy site with wide steps leading up the slope. At the bottom of the image in white letters is the title, "Laura Virginia Groner Hall - East Texas Baptist College - Marshall, Texas. 6-J-81" There is a postmark on the back dated Feb. 2, 1954, and the card is addressed to The Dowdys, San Antonio, Texas. The format, quality, and number code are almost identical to another card in this collection with the publisher's name W. M. Cline Co., Chattanooga, printed on it, and this card was probably produced by the same company.
