Description

Photograph of the stone store at Little Lake standing in the near distance. A dirt road or driveway spans the width of the image in the foreground and extends towards the center, where the store stands in the near distance. The store is viewed from the front at an angle; it faces right. A shed or garage extends off of the left side of the building. The stone store extends back to the right. Another shed is attached to the building at far right. The drive curves in front of the building where 2 cars are parked side-by-side. They are viewed at an angle from the rear and face back towards the right. The cars are H. H. West's Buick and presumably Dave F. Smith's EMF. The Buick is parked at right and the EMF at left. Brush-covered mountains stretch across the background.
