Description
Five black-and-white picture postcards of various buildings on the campus of the University of Maine. Three were manufactured by Machleith Photo System in Milwaukee, WI and two are unattributed to a printer. The former are labeled, "Library Walks & Trees, University of Maine; Campus View, University of Maine; and Hannibal Hamlin Hall, University of Maine." The latter two cards are labeled, "Oak Hall - Men's Dormitory - University of Maine; and Phi Etta Kappa, University of Maine." The original Oak Hall burned in 1936 and Machleith produced postcards in the 1930s, so all five cards likely date to the early 1930s. The connection of these cards to Old Town is unclear.
