The caption on the back:
SEQUOYAH AND WILL ROGERS BUILDINGS
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
These modernistic buildings, housing State and Federal offices, are a part of the Capitol complex. They are named in honor of Sequoyah, famous Cherokee Indian chief who invented the Cherokee alphabet, and Will Rogers, Oklahoma's favorite son and world-famous humorist. "The Avenue of Trees," a part of the landscaping, is made up of 77 trees; each tree represents one of Oklahoma's 77 counties.
(The postmark on the back--my aunt sent this to my grandparents while she was here for a visit--is dated Nov. 12, 1963. FWIW, the message mentions that the weather was in the 80s that day.)
