The old Boston post road
This 1913 travel history by Stephen Jenkins, published in New York and London by G. P. Putnam's Sons, traces the old Boston post road and the towns and buildings along it. The photographs and engravings show a church with a tower, a village street with horse-drawn carriages, a farmhouse and a clapboard colonial house, all rendered in plain documentary style that suits designers looking for early American roadside architecture and period street scenes.
