Sepia-toned postcard of Trinity Church in Copley Square, Boston — H.H. Richardson's Romanesque Revival masterpiece, its massed towers and rough-cut stone facade rising above the square. Completed in 1877, Trinity Church is considered one of the most architecturally significant buildings in the United States and helped define the Richardsonian Romanesque style that spread across American civic and institutional architecture into the early 20th century. Postmarked in 1908, the card was sent by a writer staying on Warrenton Street who reported a safe arrival in Boston and a recent visit to a chiropodist, with another appointment to come — small, human details meant to reassure a friend back home in Rockland, Maine.
