About this postcard

The Conant Littleton Company's general store complex fills the frame at Littleton Common, Massachusetts, with a long awning shading signs for the barber shop, post office, and hardware. A large water tower rises from the roof, and cars are parked at the curb in front. The store stood at the junction of Routes 2, 110, and 119, a crossroads that made it a local commercial hub. Its mix of services shows how a country general store could serve as a village center, with mail, hardware, and a haircut under one roof.
