About this postcard

Bare winter trees frame the town common in Winchester, Massachusetts, with a church spire rising behind them and a commercial building on the right. Utility poles and wires cross the sky above the open green. Signs for FILMS and CIGARS on the storefront point to the everyday trade of a Boston suburb in the early 1900s.
