About this postcard

A large red-brick building with a white stone classical entrance and four columns stands behind a lawn with bare trees, a street in the foreground. The sender writes of arriving for a series of concerts in the building, which fits Hill Auditorium, the University of Michigan concert hall completed in 1913. Ann Arbor in the 1910s was a small college town, and the message calls it beautiful with lovely walks around.
