About this postcard

The card captioned "Stone Alley, Nantucket Island, Mass." looks up a narrow stepped lane between white fences and tall hollyhocks toward a white clock tower topped with a gold dome. Nantucket's Stone Alley is one of the old town's narrow pedestrian ways, lined with weathered fences and flower gardens. The view reflects the historic whaling-era streetscape for which Nantucket is known.
