Dear Sister & Frances
"Saw the Capitol of Louisiana went through & looked the city over from the top all around swell view." Lots of love to all L.T.G.

The artists in these old linen cards were often very creative with color. I see no evidence of red stone in the actual building. It's still a magnificent structure though.
