Monterey CA California First Brick Building White Border Postcard Unused

This vintage postcard features the First Brick Building in Monterey, California, a historic landmark built in 1849 by Duncan Dickenson, a survivor of the Donner Party. The detailed image showcases the classic brick structure with a wooden fence and a garden in front, capturing a unique piece of California's Gold Rush era history. The building, originally planned as a larger structure, stands as a testament to early Californian architecture and pioneer resilience.

Printed by Curteich-Chicago as a genuine "C.T. American Art" postcard, this piece reflects mid-20th century postcard production techniques with vibrant lithographic colorization. The card is a standard size, ideal for collectors interested in American West history, vintage architecture, or Monterey landmarks. Its clear depiction and historical text on the back make it a great addition for enthusiasts of California heritage and vintage postcards.
