Postcard 1960s Chrome Paxton Inn Massachusetts Colonial Dining Room Paddock Bar

Paxton, Massachusetts, USA1960ChromeGood

Warm knotty-pine walls and low exposed beams set the scene in these two evocative interior views of the Paxton Inn, a storied old stagecoach stop straddling the junction of Routes 122, 56, and 31 between Worcester and Springfield in Paxton, Massachusetts — a road-food institution beloved by mid-century New England travelers. The top panel reveals the Colonial Room dining space, its long white-linened table set for a banquet party, ladder-back chairs neatly aligned, and a round mirror catching candlelight on the paneled wall. Below, the Paddock Cocktail Lounge glows amber around a handsome upright piano and exposed brick fireplace, the perfect après-dinner retreat. Phone number PLeasant 2-9308 anchors the card firmly in the pre-area-code 1950s–60s era of Yankee Colour publishing.
