Entrance Glen Aerie Inn Greenwood Lake Postcard c1910 Hewitt NJ Stone Pillars For Sale

This divided-back postcard presents a black-and-white halftone print of the entrance to the Glen Aerie Inn, a resort establishment situated near Greenwood Lake. The scene is framed by a substantial rustic stone wall and two prominent stone pillars that demarcate the entryway to a tree-lined driveway. The bare branches of the trees suggest the photograph was captured during late fall, winter, or early spring. A solitary figure, appearing to be a woman in period attire, stands within the driveway, providing a sense of scale against the imposing stonework and the wooded landscape. The halftone printing process is evident in the characteristic dot pattern that comprises the image, a common technique for mass-produced postcards of the early twentieth century. Printed text at the bottom identifies the location as \"ENTRANCE, GLEN AERIE INN, GREENWOOD LAKE,\" and further notes \"N. E. Warmolts, Prop.\" with the post office designated as \"Hewitt, N. J.\"The verso of the card confirms its origin in the Divided Back Era, a period initiated in the United States on March 1, 1907, which permitted messages on the left half of the back and the address on the right. The printed instruction to \"Place One Cent Stamp Here\" within a rectangular box, along with the decorative, gothic-style \"Post Card\" header, are characteristic of postcards produced between approximately 1907 and the mid-1910s. The location, Hewitt, New Jersey, is an unincorporated community within West Milford Township, Passaic County. This area, surrounding the interstate Greenwood Lake, was a popular resort destination in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, attracting visitors from urban centers seeking recreation. The card is in good vintage condition, exhibiting minor signs of age such as slight yellowing and small specks, with relatively intact edges and corners. The back displays significant, uniform discoloration and foxing, along with a distinct vertical band of lighter coloration along the left edge, possibly from uneven toning or a previous attachment. Neither side contains any handwritten messages or postal cancellations.
