Item Description from Seller
This vintage postcard features the iconic Santa Fe Station in San Bernardino, California, showcasing its distinctive Spanish Revival architecture with red tile roofs and detailed arches. The postcard captures a historic transportation hub with early 20th-century automobiles visible, giving a nostalgic glimpse into California’s railroad era. The postcard is a colorized print typical of the early 1900s, printed on a 3.5 x 5.5 inch card stock.
Published by the Detroit Publishing Co., under the ‘Fred Harvey Phostint’ brand, this postcard reflects the popular production technique of the time known for vibrant yet soft colorization. The Santa Fe Station is a significant landmark in Southern California’s rail history, associated with both the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway and the Fred Harvey Company, which was famous for its hospitality services. This collectible postcard is unposted and dated 1932 by handwritten notation on the front, adding to its historical value for collectors of railroad or California memorabilia.
