The back of this postcard works as a key to the city. It matches each letter of NASHVILLE to a landmark, including Union Station, Ryman Auditorium, and Vanderbilt University’s Furman Hall.

The second L shows the War Memorial Building. Dedicated in 1925, the building stands across from the Tennessee State Capitol and commemorates Tennesseans who served in World War I. The postcard puts that civic landmark alongside the city’s rail, music, and university buildings.
