About this postcard

A two-story brick school building with rows of multi-pane windows, a raised stone foundation, and broad entrance steps stands among large mature shade trees behind a dirt road. A low bench and a fallen log sit in the foreground. The caption names it Cleveland High School in Cleveland, Texas, a town in Liberty County in East Texas. The brick walls, tall windows, and raised foundation are hallmarks of early-20th-century school construction in the region. The card carries a father's short note to his son, hoping to see him soon.
