About this postcard
The view shows a two-story yellow clapboard house with green shutters, a columned entrance porch, a second-floor balustraded balcony, and two brick chimneys. A lawn with curving walkways leads to the house, with neighboring roofs and large shade trees around it under a tinted sunset sky. The caption places it on Main Street in Waltham, Massachusetts, as the General Banks Residence, the home associated with Nathaniel P. Banks, the Waltham-born Massachusetts governor and Union general. Waltham was by then a manufacturing city known especially for watchmaking.
