About this postcard

An elevated, bird's-eye view of a sprawling red-brick building complex with white trim, steep white roofs and dormers, arranged in a long arc with a central white cupola topped by a gold dome. Broad lawns, curving drives and dense green trees with touches of autumn color surround the structure, which has the multi-winged plan typical of an early-20th-century hospital, sanatorium or residential institution. No caption or imprint is visible on the picture side, so the specific institution cannot be identified from the scan.
