About this postcard

A halftone view across a wooded lakeshore toward a cluster of small cabins set among trees at the water's edge, captioned as "The Green Circle" cabins on Lake Wallenpaupack, Pennsylvania. Lake Wallenpaupack is a 13-mile reservoir in Pike and Wayne counties created in the 1920s by damming Wallenpaupack Creek for hydroelectric power, and by mid-century its shoreline hosted numerous summer cabin colonies and resorts of the kind shown here.
