About this postcard

A row of red brick institutional buildings with hipped roofs, chimneys and white-trimmed windows stands behind a broad lawn and a low white fence, with bare trees in front. The card's own caption names it as a scene at the Feeble Minded Institute in Beatrice, Nebraska, an institution founded in the 1880s as the Nebraska Institution for the Feeble-Minded Youth and later known as the Beatrice State Developmental Center. The numbered imprint and coloring are typical of the linen-textured view cards issued in the 1930s.
