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
Headrock Beach (Old Garden), Rockport, Mass., c. 1937
I have sometimes seen Old Garden Beach called by the name on this postcard, Headrock Beach. Perhaps the name is from the large, head-shaped rock that sits near the beach’s far end. As you may be able to see from … Continue reading

Old Garden Beach, Rockport, Mass., circa 1912
The image quality of this postcard is poor and no publisher or publication date are identified. Although no publisher is identified, the reverse side has a distinctive format that matches other cards I have with postmarks from 1910 to 1914. … Continue reading
The Bay and Shore from Marmion Way, Rockport, 1905
This 1905 view of Marmion Way is looking towards Old Garden Beach and The Headlands. The two houses in the far distance, slightly to the right of the picture’s center, are on The Headlands. You can see a much closer … Continue reading
Old Garden Beach & the Headlands, Rockport, Mass., circa 1908
This postcard, published by The Rotograph Company in New York City, has no date or postmark. According to a website devoted to the history of The Rotograph Company, it actively produced postcards only from 1904 to 1908. The postcard has … Continue reading
