1946 - 1954 / Downtown Lorain

Postcard colorized illustration ( "Natural Color Post Card Made in U.S.A. by E.C. Kropp Co., Milw., Wis - (KEL).") of Broadway Avenue, Lorain, Ohio, looking south from the intersection with Erie Avenue. "East Erie and Broadway, Lorain, Ohio --14" is printed on the top of the illustration.

The illustration appears to be an evening view of Broadway, as car headlights and streetlights are lit in the illustration. Prominent landmarks included in the view include the Broadway Building at the left of the view and the Fisher Food grocery store at the right.

The postcard was published by Lorain Novelty Company, Lorain, Ohio, per information printed on the back of the postcard. The date that the postcard was published is not provided, but given the style of automobiles pictured in the postcard, is likely from the late 1940s to early 1950s.
