Memphis Postcards 10

Time for another installment in my series of antique Memphis postcards.  The top card depicts the cobblestone area of the river front that was still used for loading cotton easily into the 1930's.  In the bottom card, we once again see a view of the old federal building and courthouse, now the University of Memphis Law School.  Unfortunately, the original Cossitt Library building next to it is no longer with us.
