Somerville Massachusetts in the Olden Days


Lately I've been gathering photos and postcards that I see posted on the Facebook group 'Somerville in the Olden Days.' I particularly like the 19th century photos, but the ones from the 1940s thru the 1960s are interesting too. My family's history in Somerville begins in the 1930s. 
St Ann's Church Winter Hill
Broadway
I'm pretty sure this is Highland Ave., right before Cedar St.
Prospect Tower
Somerville Theater, Built in 1905 or so
Davis Square 1940s
Davis Sq. 1960s. My mom's first job was working in Gorin's
