About this postcard
Moody Street in Waltham, Massachusetts, looking north through a commercial block of multi-story brick buildings and awnings. A streetcar runs down the center of the street while an automobile and pedestrians share the roadway. Storefronts include an F.W. Woolworth, a five-and-dime chain common in downtown shopping districts of the era. Waltham was a watchmaking and manufacturing city, and Moody Street served as its busy retail spine. The mix of trolley, car, and foot traffic shows a downtown adjusting to the early automobile age.
