| J.C. 541. PARIS - THE PALAIS DU TROCADERO - Built for the 1878 exhibition Exhibition tower height is 70 meters |
The Palais du Trocadero was built for the 1878 World's Fair which was held from May 1, 1878 until November 10, 1878 in Paris to celebrate France's recovery after the Franco-Prussian War. The Palais was designed by Parisian architect Gabriel Davioud. It was built in a "Moorish" style with "Byzantine elements." The two towers were 70 meters high, and it had a large concert hall in the center with two wings on either side. The structure was demolished in 1937 and replaced by the Palais de Chaillot for the Exposition Internationale of 1937.

You are so correct about postcards having lots of information. I was at the Nashua, NH Historical Society library this week for the first time. One of their curators told me that their postcard collection is an underused gold mine of genealogy information. I took a peek, and most of the messages were back and forth/ to and from relatives, and also mentioned relatives, and were often while they were visiting relatives and other important data. I'll never look at old postcards the same way again.
