Description

This monochrome photograph, taken between approximately 1914 and 1920, captures an elevated, wide-angle view of several buildings situated along a hillside. In the mid-ground, a large, two-story structure with a predominantly flat roofline stands on the right, featuring a distinctive covered stairway or ramp that leads down toward the street level below. To the left of this main building, a few smaller, low-profile cottages are visible, spaced out along the undulating terrain. The background consists of a pale, hazy sky and a distant ridge of hills. The photograph is presented with a thin white border and contains faint handwritten text on the original negative in the upper left section of the landscape that reads "CLINTON MOUND TRACT."
