Postcard

From Jack Nivison letter:
This postcard photo is the Nivison home designed by David Boe Nivison. It was built on the west side of Guardsbridge. Notice on the photo side of the card the word in quotes, “Westerton”, and in the upper left side the two words, “my home”. I am not positve (sic) of the meaning of “Westerton”. I did ask David S. Nivison if he had any information on the meaning. He did not. In doing some additional reseach (sic) I did find that there is a Westerton village in the area of Glasgow and that there was and still is a very old Westerton Bed & Breakfast. In comparing the old architecture of that Bed & Breakfast and the new Nivison home, there are very similar architectural lines to both buildings, so maybe “Westerton” might have had something to do with the architectural style?

The two words, “my home” would have been written on the card by our grandfather, John Alexander. If you examine the date stamp on the card it reads; June 6, 1904. The address is the boarding home in Winslow where he lived about 5 years (1904-1909)… With the stamp date of June 6, 1904, “Bub” received this photo card about two months after he had arrived in Winslow.
