Marshall Country Club, Marshall, Texas

Black and white photo-postcard of the Marshall Country Club, Marshall, Texas, probably taken in the 1920s. A grassy area is in the foreground and a stream, lake, or water feature runs from left to right, with a narrow wooden bridge crossing it and what looks like a small shack on the opposite bank at the foot of the bridge. Beyond that is the club house in a Craftsman bungalow style, with a side gable roof. The multiple windows on the section next to the door indicate that part of the building was probably a screened area. There are multiple trees along the banks of the water. At the bottom of the image in white letters is the title, "Marshall Country Club, Marshall, Texas" on the left, and on the right "Howard's Stud, Marshall, Texa." There is no postmark or message on the back of the card. Stamped in small letters on the left edge of the card: "Pub. by Photo & Art Postal Card Co., 444 Broadway, N.Y."
