About this postcard

The picture shows the garden side of the House of the Seven Gables in Salem, Massachusetts, a large, dark-shingled seventeenth-century mansion with multiple gables, brick chimneys, and a small entry porch, framed by flower beds. Built in 1668, the house is a National Historic Landmark and the namesake of Nathaniel Hawthorne's 1851 novel. The card's caption identifies it as a garden view.
