Taken from across the lake and above the railroad tracks, this wide-angle photograph shows Chisago Lake, Center City, Chisago Lake Church, and the surrounding countryside.
This postcard shows the railroad bridge that was south of St. Peter and is addressed to Miss Nathalie L. Asp, 224 24th Ave. E., Duluth, Minn.. The message on the back reads, "Dear Thalie: It's a shame, should have written long ago and here I never thanked you for that package you sent. The bread was fine, we all liked it- många tusen tack! I suppose you are going to Milw. soon, wish I could go too, but when it's cold the folks like to have me home. Does Uncle intend to go away this month? He was here a year ago. Suppose you hear from Nancy[?] often? I saw the Engdahl girls once since they came back X-mas. Will write you a letter soon. Give our love to Uncle, most to you, from your cousin Jen."
This postcard shows a rushing creek lined with trees. It was sent to Miss Lydia Olson, Rock Island, Ill. The front reads, "Heartiest- greetings to yourself and your sisters, and a thousand thanks for the pretty, sweet valentine, which I received and ought to have acknowledged long ago. Hope that you are enjoying the summer very much. I will stay here probably through July, and then go away for a month. Lovingly, Inez"
Pedestrians are seen strolling down the snow-covered boardwalk leading from the college's Old Main building toward what is now College Avenue in the city of St. Peter. The boardwalk and parallel unpaved road are lined with trees, while below are seen buildings that once stood along Seventh Street.
