This is a postcard from 1964. The Friendship House was originally built in 1897 for the wealthy Morozov family. After traveling in Spain, the architect fashioned it after the Moorish style incorporating features of a building he saw in Salamanca. The facade is covered in sea shells.
The Morozov building is now used to house visiting foreign delegations.

Hi
Isn’t this a magnificent church? We were in it again this am, admiring and enjoying it – so delicate and truly lovely. Parts date from the 1200’s. We had champagne last nite at the Captain’s party, then danced. We sailed all night from Nijmegen (Netherlands) to Cologne. We’ll visit a castle this eve., Heidelberg tomorrow. Wish you were here too.
Love
