Autumn leaves blaze on a grand maple tree shading the parking lot of the Castle Restaurant and Dairy Bar — a charming stone-built roadside landmark on Route 9 at Lake Sargent in Leicester, Massachusetts, captured here in warm mid-century chrome color that makes the rustic fieldstone walls glow against a crisp New England sky. The restaurant's sign is just visible above the entrance, and the adjoining stone annex and small white outbuilding complete the scene of a quintessential postwar American roadside destination, the kind of place families stopped for fried chicken and ice cream on a Sunday drive through Worcester County. Published by Sommerfeld Photo Film of Auburn, Massachusetts, and photographed by Winfried P. Sommerfeld, this chrome-era card carries catalog number K-6417 and was made in the USA. The Castle Restaurant at Lake Sargent was a beloved local institution; such hyper-local restaurant advertising cards are eagerly sought by Massachusetts collectors and roadside Americana enthusiasts alike.
