Description
A colorful waterfront scene shows the Old Chowder House at Pleasure Island beside a busy outdoor area. People gather near benches, umbrellas, and a red concession stand, with trees and water in the background. The card has a bright summer amusement-park feel with a casual crowd and open promenade. The visible text suggests the 20th century, likely the 1970s.
Back Text (verbatim):
OLD CHOWDER HOUSE AT PLEASURE ISLAND
Perhaps the most realistic chowder house in New
England is Captain Snow's. This rustic structure
adorns the man-made waterfront at famous Pleas-
ure Island, in Wakefield, Mass. (Route 128, Exit
21A). Nearby are an old popcorn wagon, colorful
umbrellas, and guests awaiting trips on pirate
boats. Soft breezes blow gently across the popu-
lar outdoor restaurant area during the warm
summer months.
