About this postcard

A three-story brick school building with a rusticated stone base, arched entrance, and a small domed clock tower on the roof, seen from the street corner across a paved road and lawn. The card names it Crosby High School in Waterbury, Connecticut, and its 1905 copyright places it in the city's early-twentieth-century school-building boom, when large brick high schools with clock towers were erected to serve growing industrial towns. The copyright line is printed vertically along the right edge of the image.
