Battle Creek Sanitarium, Pergola Promenade (Michigan, USA)

If you heard of or saw a film called The Road to Wellness, you’ll recognize this facility, which folded as a sanitarium just after the start of World War II.  The film was hilarious (mostly) and so is the Wikipedia entry, which we wholly endorse as light reading.  As for the card, mailed in 1929 with stamp and full Battle Creek postmark.  Awesome!  Grade: 2
