This postcard was mailed 110 years ago today — Dec. 26, 1911. John Sisco of Scottsdale, Penn. was the recipient.

Not much is recognizable in this view of the western downtown area and waterfront. The steeple of Sacred Heart Cathedral still stands today at Sacred Heart Music Center. The Board of Trade Building is now Board of Trade Lofts. What other structures in this postcard have stood the test of time?

The message on the back of the card reads:

Dear Friend,
This is an answer to your card, not as soon as you expected, but I was too busy and am getting so many cards that I can’t answer for the second time. Wish you a happy New Year.
Miss F. Koeckeritz
