Waldeboro Maine Reed House Doorway Residence 1943 Postcard B&W Posted

This postcard was posted in 1943 and shows the Reed House in Waldoboro, Maine, focusing on the architectural detail of its formal entrance and façade.

Waldoboro is known for its early New England architecture, with many residences reflecting Federal and Colonial Revival influences. The Reed House, as depicted here, presents a symmetrical and carefully composed entrance design, emphasizing proportion, classical elements, and decorative craftsmanship typical of established homes in the region. The close framing of the structure highlights the architectural vocabulary rather than a broader streetscape, centering attention on entryway design.

The image features a columned doorway with a curved balcony above, supported by pillars and framed by shuttered windows. A prominent eagle ornament sits above the balcony, adding a patriotic decorative element. The black-and-white format enhances contrast across the siding, trim, and shadowed entry. The reverse shows a handwritten message and postal markings confirming its use as mailed correspondence in 1943.
