An aerial view of the Reece Corporation plant in Waltham, Massachusetts, a long, low factory with a multi-bay sawtooth roof and the company name lettered across the facade. Railroad tracks cross the foreground, cars fill a parking lot along one side, and a river with wooded banks and scattered houses lies behind the building. The Reece Corporation was a Waltham maker of buttonhole sewing machines, and the broad plant and crowded lot suggest the scale of the city's postwar precision manufacturing.
Black-and-white photograph with a white border; slight edge wear. Automobile styles suggest a late 1940s-early 1950s date.
No postmark. Divided back; DuPont Photo Products stamp box; handwritten "Waltham, Mass" subject-location annotation and "1949" date annotation at top; dealer mark "3-" and an illegible dealer mark; black-and-white real-photo card.
