About this postcard

A weathered, shingle-clad cottage with a small sign reading "AULD LANG SYNE" above its door. A group of men, women, and children sit and stand in front of it. The printed caption calls it the oldest house in Siasconset, Massachusetts, a village on the eastern shore of Nantucket that became a summer resort known for its gray-shingled cottages and rose-covered fences. Helen Hill's note calls the house "One of the sights to see this afternoon," the kind of brief sightseeing report a visitor might send home.
