Postcard of Haverhill

While we were camping last week, we drove up to Brewer to an antique shop I like, The Schoolhouse Antiques, on Rt. 15. While browsing, I found an old postcard of Haverhill, Mass., where most of our parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles grew up. For $1.00, I had to buy it. Does anyone recognize the location or know anything of its history? Here is the postcard: I also found this old photo on the internet (Google Images under "Haverhill, MA"). I think it said it was taken in 1905:

Does anyone recognize the location in downtown Haverhill?
