About this postcard
A tall, stone-fronted office block on a street corner, shown with red-and-white striped awnings over its upper windows and a large arched entrance at ground level; trolley tracks and utility poles line the street in front. The caption names it as the Security Mutual Life Insurance Building in Binghamton, New York. Security Mutual Life Insurance Company was founded in Binghamton in 1886 and this headquarters block was among the city's prominent downtown commercial structures of the early 20th century.
