What appears to be a normal postcard folds open as double-height card--a small glued tab at the top bears the legend "PATENTED JULY 16, 1906: PUBLISHED / BY WOLF & CO. PHILADELPHIA." The reverse or cover of the card features Dartmouth Hall.
Inside the card are three rows featuring six views (in position A, shown here):
| College Hall / Student Club Building | Webster Hall |
| Rollins Chapel | Tuck Hall |
| The Terrace | Mary Hitchcock Hospital |
The rows are cut in strips, cleverly interleaved like a Jacob's-ladder toy. Folding the card back on itself reveals six more views on the obverse (in position B):
| The Hanover Inn | Massachusetts Hall |
| Heating and Lighting Plant | Fayerweather Row |
| Library and Gymnasium | Wheeler Hall |
