Wish You Were Here - Vintage Postcards of Norwood, Massachusetts

The postcards in this volume, all from the Robert N. and Susan Donahue Collection, tell the story of this community from its founding to the late twentieth century. Businesses, houses of worship, educational, health care and recreational facilities, public buildings, landmarks and homes are all represented. For many, these views will spark nostalgia; for others, they will be totally unfamiliar. Either way, this is Norwood.
