About this postcard

The card pictures the Post Office in Waterbury, Connecticut, a substantial stone building with a balustraded roofline and flagpole, with a horse-drawn carriage and pedestrians on the street in front. The printed caption names it simply as “POST OFFICE, WATERBURY, CONN.” Waterbury was a major brass-manufacturing center in the early 20th century, and this view records the city’s post office as it appeared around 1905.
