Description

  • Content Description: Black and white photo-postcard of the Bishop College Administration Building, in Marshall, Texas. The brick building is two-stories, with a full-height porch with square columns across the two sides of the building shown in the view. The building is raised with steps leading up to the porch and entrance door. Trees frame the view of the building, and a grassy lawn is in the foreground, with a fire hydrant in the lower left of the image. At the bottom of the image in white letters is the title, "Administration Building - Bishop College - Marshall, Texas. 6-J-67." Bishop College was established in 1881 as a Baptist college for African Americans in Texas. The school moved to Dallas in 1961. The campus was sold the same year. Its buildings were demolished. There is no postmark or message on the back of the card. The format, quality, and number code are almost identical to another card in this collection with the publisher's name W. M. Cline Co., Chattanooga, printed on it, and this card was probably produced by the same company.
