Description
This sepia-toned postcard pictures a bustling Main Street, Belfast, Maine, circa 1900-1910, showcasing horse-drawn carriages and everyday life outside M. P. Woodcock & Son. Drug Store. The back features a handwritten message from Aunt K[illegible] to Marjorie Mahoney in Medford, Mass., including news about family and health. A one-cent George Washington stamp completes this charming early 20th-century piece of history.
