[Postcard of White-Aiken House in Salado, Texas]

Postcard of a small, two-story, cream-colored farmhouse, with an off-white, wooden, four-wheel cart sitting in the grassy lawn in front of the house's white picket-fence. The house has an L-shaped, covered porch on the front and left side of the house - the overhang supported by white, circular columns. Two groups of trees stand in the yard, one group on the front left of the house, and the other just to the front right. A small, white truck is just visible in the driveway on the left, while a windmill and standing water tank are partially visible past the trees on the right. On the back of the postcard are postcard markings and a brief paragraph about the history of the house.

[Postcard of Sirena Sculpture in Salado, Texas]

Postcard of a metal sculpture shaped in the figure of a female mermaid sitting and holding her fish tail on a light-colored, flat rock in the middle of a small pool of water. The sculpture's image is reflected in the water below. The pool is surrounded by light-colored rocks and weeds, lining the banks, and the golden lighting indicates the photo was taken at either dusk or dawn. On the back are postcard markings, a white, rectangle sticker, and a brief paragraph detailing the history and meaning of the statue.
