Before a single stone was laid, architect Fred R. Lear rendered the future Women's Building at Syracuse University in this striking pen-and-ink architectural postcard — a rare glimpse into the aspirational campus planning of the early 1900s. The Collegiate Gothic structure, with its battlemented towers, arched colonnades, and steeply pitched roof skylights, is depicted in a confident bird's-eye perspective printed by Onondaga Print on warm buff stock. The Women's Building (later known as Lyman Hall) was a focal point of student life for generations of women navigating higher education at a time when women's spaces on campus were hard-won achievements. The undivided back with its "Place One Cent Stamp Here" instruction dates this card firmly to the pre-1907 undivided-back era, making it an unusually early piece of Syracuse University ephemera sought by both postcard collectors and university historians.
