About this postcard
View looking down Moody Street in Waltham, Massachusetts. Commercial buildings line the street, several early automobiles are on the road, and a church spire rises in the background. A bridge crosses the Charles River, with a waterfall at right. Waltham grew around the Charles River's waterpower. The falls visible here were part of the industrial landscape that drove mills and factories, while Moody Street served as a busy commercial artery. The mix of storefronts and automobile traffic places the scene in the early twentieth century.
