I guessing the top one was a stock "Good Luck" postcard, with the gold painted on later for which ever town wanted them.
The middle postcard has a house that looks very familiar, but has no clues as to its location. The writer indicates "I suppose you know this house without me telling you." Too bad you didn't tell me. I think it is a house on E Broadway, near the railroad tracks, but I'm not certain.
The colored house at the bottom I think is actually now on what is known as Becker Ave. The house still stands there and is home to some former neighbors. They worked on restoring the house and they might have even had a copy of this postcard, as the paint scheme is very similar to what it is painted now.
Any Ossianites out there recognize these homes? Do they still stand? Am I correct in their location?
