Description

Photograph of Wilson D. West mimicking his pose from a 1894 photograph by standing in the front yard of the old West family residence on South Workman Street. Wilson D. West stands in the near distance at center. He looks to the camera and folds his hands in front of him. The front lawn of the old West residence occupies the foreground. A water pipe rises from the lawn at left. Behind it, a walkway stretches across the yard and to the sidewalk at right. Small shrubs flank the walkway near the sidewalk. The sidewalk stretches from right and back to the left, disappearing behind a bush. A large tree stands behind and to the left of Wilson and houses line the opposite side of the street in the background.
