About this postcard

The Ames Residence stands on a grassy rise behind a stone wall and gate, its brick and stone facade broken by gables and chimneys. A curving drive climbs toward the house, with evergreens and a rocky outcrop at the left edge of the view. North Easton was closely associated with the Ames family, whose shovel works and civic projects shaped the village in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The house shown here reflects the family's prominence in the town's industrial and social life.
