About this postcard
A large brick institutional building with a crenellated roofline, a pointed-arch entrance, rows of shuttered windows, and tall chimneys stands behind a curving dirt path and bare trees. The printed caption identifies it as the Waltham, Massachusetts, Training School for Nurses. Waltham was a manufacturing city west of Boston, known for its watch and textile works, and its nursing school trained women for hospital and home care. The handwritten note mentions a nurse arriving home and wishing to be back in Melvin Village, New Hampshire.
