Title:
Large tree with three houses, a wood planter, and possibly a mailbox
Description:
Unknown house, San Antonio, exterior | Large, leafy tree in foreground with partial view of three houses behind it, two neighboring each other and one at left. Closest dwelling is of stone construction with a shuttered window visible. A wooden, hinged box (possibly a mailbox) atop a post stands directly next to the tree, and there is a shrub in a wood planter a short distance away. | 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. | Note: George believes location is possibly Fredericksburg, Castroville, or San Antonio
