About this postcard

A view across a wooded lakeshore toward a cluster of small cabins set among trees at the water's edge. The caption's slogan, "For Better Cabins," promotes The Green Circle, a summer cabin colony on Lake Wallenpaupack, Pennsylvania. Lake Wallenpaupack is a 13-mile reservoir in Pike and Wayne counties, created in the 1920s by damming Wallenpaupack Creek for hydroelectric power. By the 1950s, its shoreline hosted numerous cabin colonies and resorts of the kind shown here.
