About this postcard

The card pictures the new bridge carrying the road across the Portage River at Port Clinton, Ohio, with concrete arches and tall, Art Deco-style pylons rising from the water. The printed caption places the scene "In Ohio's Lake Erie Vacationland," the resort and fishing region around Sandusky Bay and the Lake Erie islands. Port Clinton was a gateway for Lake Erie vacation traffic when this linen card was issued.
