Description
The caption reads, "Quoddy Village, from the air, Eastport, Me." Quoddy Village was constructed in 1935 as temporary housing for the clerks, engineers, draftsmen, technicians, and laborers building the Passamaquoddy Tidal Power Project, the world’s largest tidal dam. The site was originally the George Rice farm, on the Old Toll Bridge Road and Route 190.
The Tichnor Brothers printing company published this type of postcard circa 1938.
