Front:
Black and white image of the old Northampton Court House on Main St. POV is from across the Main St & King St intersection. The four-story building has arched windows and a prominent steeple-like center. On the sidewalks in front of and next to the building, many pedestrians are gathered as well as multiple horse-drawn carriages. There are a few large, bare trees along the perimeter. The Northampton Institute for Savings can be seen to the left of the building and other buildings can be seen behind it
A gold pin reading "A Happy Birthday" has been stuck onto the front of the postcard.
Message on front reads: "57 Phillips Place / June 11th / Ain't you ever coming home? Do write me soon. You owe me one. / Lovingly, C. A. A."
[Message is upside down on card]
Back is addressed to: "Mrs. John C. Fowle / Fort Montgomery / N. Y."
