Black-and-white view of the First Baptist Church of Vinton, Iowa, a brick building with a classical portico of tall columns, a pediment bearing the church's name, and arched stained-glass windows along the side elevation. Concrete steps lead to two entrances, and a small frame house and trees are visible at the edges of the lawn. The lettering across the lower part of the image was written into the negative, a common practice for small-town real-photo cards of the mid-twentieth century.
Black-and-white real photo print with white caption lettered in the negative; no white border; light surface scuffs and a few specks in the sky area.
No postmark; unused real-photo card back. Kodak stamp box (dashed frame, "Kodak / PLACE STAMP HERE / Paper") and vertical rights line indicate a mid-century (1930s–1950s) photo-finish card; light foxing/toning on cream stock, no writing.
