Vamp Building, Lynn, Massachusetts - 1907

            This postcard appears to be from 1907 as there is an advertisement poster for "Lynn Old Home Week, July 28 to August 3 1907, Warm Welcome to All" on the back as well as "Franklin Pub. Co. Lynn" 

Some info from wikipedia:
The Vamp Building is a historic factory building at 3-15 Liberty Square in downtown Lynn, Massachusetts. The eight story brick building was built in 1903 as the Lynn Realty Company Building #4[2] to a design by local architect Henry Warren Rogers,[3] and was extended over the next four years to occupy the entire city block bounded by Washington Street, Union Street, and Liberty Square. The "flatiron" V-shape of the building was the basis for its name, as it resembles the shape of the vamp of a shoe.[4] The building served in its early years as a home for all manner of businesses related to the manufacture of shoes.[2] At the time of its construction it was the largest brick building of its kind in the world.[4]

The building suffered relatively little damage in the fire of November 28, 1981, losing only its top floor.[5] The strong construction and newly-installed sprinkler system were credited with limiting the scope of destruction of the fire, preventing the blaze from reaching farther into the city.[4]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983,[1] and is one of three registered buildings in Lynn designed by Henry Warren Rogers.
