About this postcard
A large two-story clapboard house with a mansard roof, dormers, and a wide columned front porch stands behind tall shade trees. A low stone wall and sidewalk run across the foreground, and a tall chimney or smokestack rises at the left. The caption identifies the building as the "Home of the Riverside Club of Waltham Watch Factory" in Waltham, Massachusetts. The Waltham Watch Factory was one of the city's major employers and a leading American watchmaker, and the club served as a social and recreational gathering place for the factory community. The house's mansard roof and dormers reflect the Second Empire style common in late-19th-century New England.
