Eastman Kodak Office Building Postcard, Rochester NY Night

This item is a color postcard depicting the Eastman Kodak Office Building at night in Rochester, New York. The printed caption reads "Eastman Kodak Office Building at Night, Rochester, N.Y." and the lower text identifies the structure as the "Tallest Tower in Rochester."

The visual style and printing technique suggest that the postcard was most likely produced between the 1930s and 1950s, a period when industrial and architectural postcards were widely produced in the United States to promote modern urban landscapes and major corporations.

Because the postcard does not show any written message or postal markings, it was likely produced as a tourist or promotional postcard.
