Weathered cedar shingles, a rambling roofline punctuated by four brick chimneys, and a sweep of green lawn rolling toward the road—Jacobs Farmhouse in Norwell, Massachusetts radiates the quiet permanence of a structure that had already stood more than two centuries when this chrome-era postcard captured it on a cloudless summer day. Built in 1726 by Joshua Jacobs on the shores of Jacobs Pond, the house is a textbook example of the Cape Cod and colonial saltbox vernacular architecture that shaped South Shore Massachusetts, its asymmetrical silhouette and massive central chimney clusters telling the story of additions added generation by generation. Published by Bromley and Company of Boston and photographed in color by the Hingham Camera Shop, this card is an artifact of mid-century New England historic-preservation pride—unused and clean, it likely served as a local souvenir or historical society keepsake.
