Almost every summer the Great Pretenders played the Brothers 4 Nightclub in Falmouth Hts (Cape Cod, MA) every Friday and Saturday night. This postcard is an aerial view of Falmouth Hts, circa 1945. The Brothers 4 Nightclub was located in the former Terrace Gables Hotel. The Heights looked pretty much the same until 1988 when Bros 4 was knocked down to be replaced by Condos, which are called…. Terrace Gables Condominiums.
