About this postcard
The photograph looks down the nave of St. Mary's Church in San Antonio, with rows of pews facing the altar, an arched ceiling overhead, and stained-glass windows along the side walls. No people appear in the view, so the empty interior puts the architecture and furnishings on display. San Antonio in the 1910s was a growing commercial and military center with a large Catholic population drawn from its Mexican, German, and Anglo communities. Empty church interiors like this one were a common postcard subject, letting parishioners and visitors keep a record of a building they knew.
