Old Garden Beach, Rockport, Mass., circa 1935
This is a linen postcard showing Rockport’s Old Garden Beach. Although it is undated, I estimate it to be from around 1935 for a couple of reasons. For one, linen postcards were produced primarily from 1930 to 1945, so it … Continue reading
Turks Head Inn, Rockport, Mass., circa 1910
As I’ve noted before, the Turk’s Head Inn was long considered Rockport’s finest resort. It stood at the location of the present-day Cape Hedge Inn, at the intersection of South Street and Thatcher Road in the area of town known … Continue reading
The Old Stone Wharves, Rockport, Mass., circa 1925
These two postcards show the exact same scene and come from the same publisher, but there are subtle differences between them. In particular, note the clouds — they are vastly different in the two views. The probable reason for this … Continue reading
Chapin’s Gully, Pigeon Cove, Cape Ann, Mass., circa 1910
Chapin’s Gully was named for Edwin Hubbell Chapin, an internationally prominent 19th Century preacher, author and editor of the influential newspaper, the Christian Leader. Chapin spent some 30 summers in Pigeon Cove. He died at his cottage there in 1880, … Continue reading
Sea View Farm, Rockport, Mass., circa 1912
Seaview Farm, at 38 South St. in Rockport, is known today as a boarding stable. It has been home to seven generations of the Lane family, who established it in 1838 as a dairy farm. In the 1970s, Charles L. … Continue reading
Ye Stone Haven, Rockport, Mass., circa 1912
These twin stone towers still mark the entrance to Straitsmouth Way in Rockport. In the image below, you can see the Google Street View perspective of this same scene as it looks today. “Stone Haven” was the name given to … Continue reading
Pigeon Cove Harbor, Cape Ann, Mass., circa 1912
The postmark on this card is dated June 18, but the year is obliterated. It is definitely a pre-1917 postcard, but not older than 1907. It was published by E.C. McIntire, Gloucester, and printed in Germany. As I’ve noted before, … Continue reading
Two Views of Rockport’s Award Winning Motif No. 1 Float, 1933
Tomorrow is Motif No. 1 Day, Rockport’s annual celebration of its iconic fishing shack. In conjunction with that, Leslie D. Bartlett will premiere his film tonight, The Fish Shack Float that Charmed Chicago, the story of Rockport’s first-prize-winning entry in … Continue reading
Main Street, Pigeon Cove, Showing Tool Factory, c. 1915
This old view of a sleepy Main Street in Pigeon Cove shows the now-abandoned Cape Ann Tool Company to the right and the trolley tracks that once circled Cape Ann to the left. A sign on the third utility pole … Continue reading
Fishing Boats, Rockport, Mass., circa 1910
The coloring of this postcard makes it look more like a modern painting than a 100-year-old postcard. One source I found attributed this look to the crude form of hand coloring used by the postcard’s publisher, E.C. McIntire of Gloucester. … Continue reading
