$24.99

Maine postcard / Unique and I believe Rare - showing 12 different buildings from the campus.  What makes this different is the fact that basically it has 4 different parts to it, but they all fold in neatly together.  Also believe that this multi-sectioned card would be considered to be a Mechanical postcard.

The buildings shown and listed are:  Library / Chemical Laboratory / Agricultural building / Biology building / Experiment Station / Mechanical and Electrical Laboratory / Gymnasium / Observatory / Horticultural building / women's dormitory / Civil Engineering building
