Wiconisco – Pottsville Street, 1907 or Before

A black and white photo post card view of Pottsville Street, Wiconisco, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.  In establishing a date for this scene, it is noted that the white band across the bottom of the card was for the message, and the back of the card (undivided), by regulation, could only be used for the address.  This practice was in effect until 1907, when both the message and the address were placed on a divided back.  Thus this card is from 1907 or before.

Note the trolley tracks down the center of Pottsville Street and the electric line above the tracks.
