Dark hand-hewn beams, Windsor chairs, red bar stools, and white-linen-draped dining tables set for a proper New England dinner — this chrome-era promotional postcard for the Iron Horse Restaurant on Route 1 in Norwood, Massachusetts captures the quintessential mid-century American steakhouse aesthetic in two evocative interior views: the cozy tap room above and the formal dining room below. The Iron Horse billed itself as "New England's most exquisite restaurant, in an atmosphere of elegance," a claim its richly paneled, tavern-style décor seems entirely prepared to back up. Located on the Boston-Providence Highway, it would have been a natural stop for travelers, businessmen, and suburbanites venturing out for a special occasion dinner in the Eisenhower-through-Kennedy years. The card was printed by Tichnor Brothers of Boston using their "Lustrachrome" process — a high-quality chrome finish that gives the interiors their warm, candlelit glow — and was never mailed, leaving the back crisp and clean.
