If you’re not familiar with this lake at Warriors’ Path State Park in Kingsport TN, the view is of an inlet where the marina is situated (it’s to the right, out of the picture). The main lake is to the left (also out of the picture). Then, with all that missing, why did I take the picture here? I liked the tree in the foreground.
I took this from the walking path on Duck Island.
Morristown High School in 1950. It’s now Morristown East.
Anyway, I was puzzled about this picture. The inventory number, lower right on the front, dates this card to 1950; however, the primary source for information on this school (Wikipedia) gives a date 1955 for the addition of that 3rd floor. Sounded kind of wrong to me, because the building looks to be fully developed as it. Then, I ran across this picture . The school was built in 1923 and that black-and-white image is from the ’30s. Maybe there was a 3rd story added somewhere, but I don’t think it was here. Btw, Morristown High School is the oldest accredited high school in Tennessee.
The card was published by Blackburn News Agency in Kingsport, but it’s a Genuine Curteich-Chicago “C.T. Art-Colortone” post card (Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.). It’s in fairly good shape, despite the staining on the back.
