Antique & Vintage Postcards

Linen-era color postcard of the Abou Ben Adhem Shrine Mosque in Springfield, Missouri — a striking Moorish Revival building with twin ornate tiled domes, arched windows, and an American flag at the roofline. Early automobiles and a streetcar are visible on the street below. The five-story building, completed 1923, housed a 3,600-seat auditorium and served as the home of the Abou Ben Adhem Shriners.
