Antique & Vintage Postcards

A bright linen-era advertising postcard showcasing the Union Villa Hotel & Restaurant at 10 Union Avenue, Onset, Massachusetts — a popular destination on the shores of Onset Bay, described on the reverse as "Cape Cod's most picturesque beach." The large white Victorian-style building is pictured in three-quarter view, its ground-floor restaurant wrapped in cheerful red-and-yellow striped awnings beneath a sign reading The Union Villa. A flagpole bearing a shield-style Union Villa — Meals & Rooms sign stands at the entrance. The reverse touts "Spacious and airy rooms. Accommodation from 1 to 5 persons. Overlooking beautiful Onset Bay. Fine Food — Choice Liquors. Tel. Wareham — 390." Published by New Bedford News Co., New Bedford, Massachusetts (catalog number 50441), this card was never mailed and remains unused in clean, unwritten condition.
