Single story house connected to a two-story hotel, corner perspective
Description:
Unknown house, East Texas, exterior | Corner perspective of a single story house connected or immediately adjacent to a two-story hotel with "Hotel" sign. The structure has two brick chimneys and front porches, including the hotel's second story porch with railing. Visible on the porch are a porch swing, other benches or seating, and potted plants. There are three people gathered by the hotel's porch, and in the foreground to the right is a large tree and folding wooden chair. An open car door is visible behind the tree, and a neighboring house is seen in the distant background. | From a series of unique photographic images, which Williams took on his travels through central Texas in the 1920s, showing examples of vernacular architecture.
