The card shows the Paseo at 13th Street in Kansas City, Missouri, with benches, patterned flower beds, and rows of trees along a broad landscaped boulevard; a large columned building with a dome and flag rises in the background. The Paseo was laid out in the late 19th century as one of Kansas City's grand parkways, part of the city's celebrated boulevard and park system. This view captures its early-20th-century role as a civic promenade and showpiece of City Beautiful-era urban design.
