ST. ANDREW'S CHURCH, PICTOU, NS
Collection ID#: PC 00504
Photographer: Possibly James MacLean
Printer: Unknown
Publisher: Unknown
Postmark: June 25, 1952
The image on this card is nearly identical to PC 00503 above. It is printed with a slight "linen" texture. Although the card was not mailed until 1952, the back type is from an earlier era.
Mailed to Mr. & Mrs. W. W. Wallace, 646 N. Kenilworth, Oak Park, Illinois, the sender dated the card 6 25 52 and writes "Greetings from NS! Here we are visiting in Dan's home town. The church is where Dan attended. Scenery is beautiful. We are eating all the lobster we can - its in season (12 lbs for $2.00). Fresh salmon to! Dorothy is quite thrilled over the trip. Dan is having the time of his life, so many to visit. His first return in 32 years. Quite a few changes but still old home. Will be back about the 6th of July. M Leslie"

I love the oddly placed entrance on this church.
The message on the back reads "This is a picture of our church. We had our new minister inducted night before last and gave him a reception afterward. We are all very well and hope you are the same. Will write soon. Love Grace." It was mailed to Miss Margaret J. McMillan, Ainslie Glen, illegible, C.B (Cape Breton).
