Wilmington, Brandywine Park, Water Tower

Wilmington, Brandywine Park, Water Tower

Wilmington folks will know the truth about this, but the rest of us who depend on Google will come away totally confused.  When this card was made (undivided back, mailed in 1906 with stamp and postmarks from both sending and receiving stations), it clearly describes the tower as being in Brandywine Park.  Flash forward to now, and Google shows it to be called Rockford Tower and to be in Rockford Park, which seems to be a bit northwest of what is (or was) another Brandywine Park.  We’re thinking some subdivision went on and that Brandywine used to be a lot bigger.  In any case, very nice (and very old) card.  Grade: 1
