Looking down Moody Street in Waltham, Massachusetts, the view takes in a bridge over the Charles River, early automobiles parked and moving along the roadway, and pedestrians on the sidewalks. Commercial buildings line the street, with billboards and store signs that include Coca-Cola and Parke Snow.
Waltham was a manufacturing city in this period, and Moody Street was a busy downtown commercial street. The mix of storefronts and motor traffic places the scene in the early automobile age.
