About this postcard

The card shows a two-story clapboard school building with a hipped roof, balustrade, and a picket fence, identified in print as Framingham High School in Framingham Centre, Massachusetts. A flag flies above the roof. Framingham Centre is one of Framingham's historic village centers, and the school's classical detailing, including the balustrade, reflects the early-20th-century preference for orderly civic buildings. A high school of this size fit a growing town west of Boston.
