Exchange Square
Bring a little South Acton home.
Corkwood Coaster Set · Four pieces · 3.75 × 3.75 inches
When the kettle boils, these coasters give the cups a place on the table. Two attendants stand beside a streetcar in South Acton's Exchange Square, giving the transport scene a small group of people to notice.
A postcard published by 1911 shows a streetcar and two attendants in South Acton's Exchange Square. The source records a specific town-center transport scene. The square's name and the people beside the car give this view a local identity within the wider history of electric street railways.
The square's name and streetcar connect local gathering with travel, a South Acton subject that keeps village life in the picture alongside the vehicle. Put them where the kettle's cups are usually gathered, so the view has a place in the ordinary routine of tea at home.
