Here's a post card photo of the First Presbyterian Church and Parsonage, Ada, Ohio. The post card has the name C.R. Wilson, Ada, printed on the photo side.

There are several things to notice:

1 - Width of the street
2 - Lincoln is not paved
3 - Tree lawn

Icon viewers are encouraged to make other observations from this post card.
