San Diego Building Co., San Diego, California, US
This color picture postcard has the message space on the back filled with an advertisement by San Diego Building Co. The "California bungalow" labeled in the photograph is supposedly a San Diego residence, complete with awning, in the "bungalow" style of 1-1/2 stories, appearing to have a room with dormer windows under the roof peak over the full floor on the ground level. There is a suggestion of a fuller second floor behind the left slope of the roof. This image is exactly the same as the one on PC-000-765A; however, on the back of this postcard there is a seal for the Panama-California Exposition of 1915, and the ad copy is a little different. Also, the labelling on the front has been outlined in white, and is in a different color and font. There is different coloring on the photograph, which might have been hand-tinted.
