Description
This sepia-toned postcard depicts a grand, light-colored factory building and accompanying water tower in Springvale, Maine – the former Sears Roebuck Shoe Factory. A small cafe is visible in the foreground. This building, an extension to another mill, was constructed in 1414 (according to the back), making this an early 15th-century postcard.
