Black-and-white view of a large brick grade and high school building in Reinbeck, Iowa, with a columned classical entrance portico, rows of multi-pane windows, and a lawn with shrubs. Additional school wings and trees stand to the left.
The sender notes, "This is where my mother went to school," turning the civic view into a family landmark. The classical portico and orderly windows give the school the formal presence common to small-town civic buildings of the era.
