Institution for the Deaf Condition: Excellent (See scans) Back side: Divided Circulated: No Year: Ca. 1910 Publisher: The World Post Card Co. "The Pennsylvania School for the Deaf is the third-oldest school of its kind in the United States. Its founder, David G. Seixas (1788–1864), was a Philadelphia crockery maker-dealer who became concerned with the plight of impoverished deaf children that he observed on the city's streets. The current school building is listed by the National Register of Historic Places, and two former campuses are similarly recognized."
