About this postcard

Interior of a large hall with a polished floor, rows of benches facing a stage at the far end, and red, white, and blue bunting and streamers hanging from the ceiling. Windows line the side walls. The room looks prepared for a public gathering or summer entertainment at Nutting's-on-the-Charles, a riverside hall in Waltham. The sender's note calls the place "a dandy." Waltham was then a watchmaking and manufacturing city on the Charles River, and the hall's stage and benches suggest a space built for assemblies, dances, or shows.
