Description

Photograph of the Marmion Hotel on Marmion Way, viewed at a distance. Marmion Way spans the image in the near distance. It is partially obscured by some shrubbery and low wooden posts. Beyond it stands a single-story building in partial view at left and the Marmion Hotel behind and to the right of it. The building at left extends beyond the left frame and curves to the right. A driveway beside it at right leads up a small incline towards the Marmion Hotel. A car drives past it towards the right. The Marmion Hotel is viewed at an angle from the side, facing right. The brick hotel stands 4-stories tall. Its left side faces the camera. A sign painted at the top of the building reads, "MARMION HOTEL." The left side of the building curves around to the front, which faces right. A small porch extends from the front of the building. Behind the hotel, a house stands up on hill in the distance.
