The photograph shows Adams House, a large wooden residence with porches and rows of windows, set behind a lawn and bare trees. It served as housing for women employed by the Waltham Watch Company in Waltham, Massachusetts. The company was one of the city's major watch manufacturers, and company-run lodging for female workers was a common arrangement in industrial towns, offering supervised housing near the factory.
