People have been writing "Greetings from Havre de Grace" since
1789, making this one of the oldest postal addresses in the
country. The rich history of the "Harbor of Hope" on the Chesapeake
Bay is documented in 265 postcard images, all from the early 20th
century. The cards depict well-known images such as the famous
"double-decker bridge," the Concord Point Lighthouse, and many
waterfront and boating scenes for which the city is known. Over 800
homes and other structures make up a large portion of the city,
listed on the National Register of Historic Districts.
Architectural styles range from stately Federal, Greek Revival,
Italianate, and Queen Anne styles to Victorian stone mansions. The
book portrays buildings that have thankfully been preserved, others
that have undergone drastic changes, and sadly, many that have
succumbed to development. This book evokes happy memories for
current and past residents and is an important architectural guide
for historians and preservationists.
