Here's my completely uninformed guess ... the conservatory at the corner of North Avenue and Yale Street.

John, you are correct! The image is from an old postcard that was advertising "Cut flowers, floral designs and decorations for all occasions at the Old Stand under New Management. Charles C. Ball." Good job!

Sara, this is my first time winning. For most of Nancy's photo challenges I do not have a clue, and when I do it seems that my good neighbor Andrew McRae beats me to the finish line.

Haha, great! I'll follow up with you about your prize via email. (Only first-time winners get prizes, or Andy would have quite a collection of Patch water bottles by now)

Hey! I resemble that remark! Actually, I never got my prize for the first time, but consider it a "donation," lol!
