Caption on postcard reads: "When Martinsburg was laid out at the outset of the Revolution, provision was made for a public square at the intersection of King and Queen streets by taking a quarter of each of the four contiguous blocks. Down through the years the public square has played an important role in the life of first the village, then the town, and now the city. Above is shown Comrey's Concert Band giving a concert prior to the annual Berkeley County Fair parade. The large building in the picture is the home of the Old National Bank, the oldest banking institution in the city, organized in 1865. See original for correspondence.
