Description

Photograph, from left to right, of H. H. West and Gilbert Cecil West shaking hands while standing on the front walk of H. H. West's home on South Griffin Avenue. Both stand in the near distance at center. H. H. West stands at left and faces right as he shakes Gilbert's hand. Gilbert Cecil West stands at right, facing slightly left, and looks to the camera. He is dressed in uniform (military). The walkway extends on a slight angle across the bottom edge of the image. The West's lawn stretches behind the walkway. A neighbor's house stands along the left frame and faces right. Other houses stand behind it, receding into the distance. Behind the 2 men and a few houses back, a large palm tree stands. A sidewalk stretches vertically along the right. South Griffin Avenue runs parallel to it. In the distance at right, cars park along the curb, facing towards the camera.
