This postcard, mailed in 1909, shows St. Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Church in Paul Smith’s. The church was likely just over 10 years old when this postcard was printed by the Detroit Publishing Company. The land for St. Gabriel’s was donated by Paul Smith. A small entryway was added at some point, but otherwise the exterior of the church still looks about the same today. (Photo provided — Historic Saranac Lake Collection, 2025.7.38.)
