White temple with palm trees and mountains, circa 1918

About this postcard

A tall white building with a central tower and a row of fluted columns across its front stands behind a lawn of rounded shrubs and palm trees, with a mountain range rising behind it. The classical portico and tower are the sort of architecture congregations raised for churches and temples in the early twentieth century, and the palms set the scene in a warm climate, though the card names neither town nor denomination.
