About this postcard

Black-and-white view of the First Church of Christ Scientist in Kalispell, Montana, a brick building with a classical portico and columns. The frieze names the congregation, and a grade school building stands at the right. Trees frame the foreground and a street runs across the bottom. Kalispell was a railroad and lumber town in northwestern Montana, and the church and school were part of the town's early institutional growth.
