Main Street in Waltham, Massachusetts, looking along a wide unpaved roadway with trolley tracks. A large multi-story building with awnings and trees stands on the left; on the right, a horse-drawn wagon loaded with goods sits before storefronts with striped awnings. A streetcar appears in the distance, and the spire of the Methodist Building rises behind the commercial blocks. In the early 1900s Waltham was a manufacturing city, and Main Street served as its commercial spine.
