Description
The Palace of Depression was a building made of junk that was located in Vineland, New Jersey, built by the eccentric and mustachioed George Daynor, a former Alaska gold miner who lost his fortune in the Wall Street Crash of 1929. This amusement was known as "The Strangest House in the World" and the "Home of Junk" and was built as a testament of willpower against the effects of The Great Depression.
This imagery was originally featured on linen textured Ticnor Quality View postcards from the mid 20th century. (1930s-1950s)
This is a new derivative work of the original image. The original image has been scanned, digitally repaired and enhanced by me to bring out it's vibrant color and detail, and to make the image look as it would have when it was new, back in the day.
Please note: "The Fine Art America" watermark in the corner of the image will not appear on your purchased order.
