About this postcard

Black-and-white view of Lexington Junior High School in Waltham, Massachusetts, a long, flat-roofed building whose facade is a regular grid of windows. The school stands beyond an empty paved forecourt, with a street lamp at the left edge of the frame. Junior high schools were still a new part of American public education in the 1910s, and a separate building like this reflected the growing school needs of a manufacturing city such as Waltham.
