About this postcard

The Waltham National Bank building stands on the corner of Lexington and Main Streets, a three-story masonry block with arched windows on the top floor, striped awnings over the second-floor windows, and the bank's name on the ground-floor sign. Several vintage automobiles are parked along the curb, and a pedestrian stands near the entrance. The cars suggest a 1930s or 1940s street scene in downtown Waltham, a city long known for watch manufacturing.
