About this postcard

The picture shows the tall columned portico of the Administration Building at Lynchburg College, with broad steps and large trees framing the entrance. Lynchburg College was founded in 1903 as Virginia Christian College and adopted the Lynchburg College name in 1919; its early campus architecture used classical-style porticoes. The printed caption identifies the building and the city.
