About this postcard

The Riverside Club gymnasium at the Waltham Watch Company in Waltham, Massachusetts, an interior fitted with parallel bars, a pommel horse, climbing ropes, rings, and wall bars. Large windows line the room, and a suspended net is visible. The club was tied to the Waltham Watch Company, one of the city's major employers and a leading watch manufacturer, and the gymnasium reflects the early-20th-century interest in company-sponsored athletics and recreation.
