About this postcard

The N.H. Soldiers Home in Tilton is shown as a large brick building with grounds and stables, along with its dining room, smoking room, chapel, recreation room, and library. The home housed veterans in a campus-like setting in the Lakes Region, and the interior views show the communal rooms where residents ate, gathered, and read. The sender's note about a sleigh ride to Laconia for the carnival places the card in a snowy winter season.
