A two-story yellow clapboard house with green shutters, two red brick chimneys, and a white front porch and balcony stands behind a lawn and large trees. A sidewalk curves across the foreground, with neighboring houses visible at left and right. The caption names it the General Banks Home, likely the Waltham residence of Nathaniel P. Banks, the Waltham-born governor of Massachusetts and Union general in the Civil War.
White border; red printed caption; number 62896 at lower left; no handwriting on front.
No postmark, address, or message — back is entirely blank apart from the printed divided-back design and stamp box. Era cue: divided back with 'THIS SPACE MAY BE USED FOR MESSAGE' / 'THIS SPACE FOR THE ADDRESS' and a one-cent US/Canada, two-cent foreign stamp box, typical of c. 1907-1915. Front (context only) is a color lithograph of the General Banks Home, Waltham, Mass., numbered 62896.
