Postcard from the Lighthouse at Duluth, Minn.

Paul Lundgren Nov 08, 2024 3 Comments

This 120ish-year-old postcard shows the Duluth Harbor South Breakwater Outer Light on the Canal Park side of the Duluth Shipping Canal during a storm.

The message on the front of the card reads:

I am a little girl 12 years old and would like to exchange postal cards with you. Address: 1024 E. 1st, Duluth Minn U.S.A.
Margaret McKindley.

Little Miss McKindley’s address, 1024 E. First St., is presently the location of a parking ramp on the Aspirus St. Luke’s health system campus.

An unmarked and less-faded version of the postcard appears below.

She was born in 1893, so the postcard would be from 1905. 

And here's a picture of her from Ancestry.com.

Great find HBH. This was before the days of "Divided back" postcards in 1907, so she wrote her info on the front with the image.
