Description

A blurry photograph of the store at Mono Mills as viewed from the side. Either a dirt road or drive passes across the foreground. The store is a barn-like structure that stands off-center to the right. It is viewed at an angle from the long side. Steps lead up to an open doorway on the left side of the building. A wagon laden with supplies sits outside the building in front of the door, right-of-center. A car is parked in front of the short side of the building at left. The car is viewed from the front and faces towards the camera. Two pines stand next to the back left corner of the building. In the background at left, another building juts into frame.
