Notes

Description

Photograph of a town that H. H. West passed through on his way to visit Mount Vernon. The town might be Alexandria, Virginia. It is viewed from above. At left, a bungalow-style house and a garage(?) stand in the foreground. Behind them, a large building with a bell tower stands. A utility pole is in the foreground at center. At right, there is a small hill with barren trees. Behind the trees, additional houses can be seen. The ground is covered in patches of snow.
