Stagecoach Inn, Independence, exterior | Narrow, two-story stone building with a corrugated metal roof and a chimney at either end, boarded-over second floor windows, and first floor windows with hinged wood doors. There is a wood plank in the stone siding and a dead clinging vine attached to it. Part of a ruined building is seen on the right and a house lies in the background on the left. | From a series of unique photographic images, which Williams took on his travels through central Texas in the 1920s, showing examples of vernacular architecture. Williams donated the negatives to the UT's School of Architecture in 1961 and they were subsequently transferred to the Alexander Architectural Archives.
