See It On A Postcard's Thursday Postcard Hunt is visiting cities in North America
The impressive
Union Station in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The beaux art building of local limestone opened in 1911. It was designed by the same architects as Grand Central Station in New York. The wide road with electric tram and waiting horse drawn carriages connect travellers to the city.
Lincoln was founded in 1856 as the village of Lancaster and later renamed after Abraham Lincoln, it became the state capital in 1869. My sender likes this part of the city with its old factories that are now apartments, stores and restaurants and says "
This is a great place to 'people watch' in the warmer months" I like old signage on buildings, this factory and warehouse. was built for
Harpham Bros Harness and Saddle Factory, a thriving business in the early 20th Century.

I love the geometry in both postcards, but especially in the Winnipeg postcard. Such a beautiful station building.
These are massive buildings!
I love the stations built in the late 19th/early 20th century - they're so grand
The Union Station is beautiful. I also really like when old factories and warehouses are reborn as lively spots for people to gather. Every building in this Lincoln card is a different shape and size!
I love old shots of buildings! I also like the brick ones in the Nebraska shot. I like to people watch! Which is funny I guess, as I don't really care for people in general.
