Garage
Image
Vines grow on the walls of a small wood frame building with double doors on the gable end. A sloped concrete slab leads to the doors. A handwritten caption identifies this as the "Home Garage" of the Frank B. Fargo house on Mulberry Street. There are wooden boards partially covering the windows and a ventilator on the roof. The corner of another building is in the right foreground.
August 1917
