An out-of-focus photograph of H. H. West walking away from the front door of the Paul Revere House in Boston's North End neighborhood. Along the bottom edge, a sliver of N Square stretches on an upward angle to the right. At far left, 2 young children play with a toy car on the sidewalk that passes in front of the Paul Revere House. The Paul Revere House stands on the far side of the street. It is viewed close-up and at an angle from the front. The timber-constructed dwelling stands 2-stories tall with lattice-pane windows lining both floors. An American flag extends out from the center of the building. H. H. West stands in the distance at far right, facing camera as he walks away from the house. A building adjacent to the Paul Revere House is barely visible standing along the right edge.
According to the negative sleeve, this photographic negative was taken in Alexandria, Virginia. The street signs in this image are legible and do not match the geography of Alexandria. They correlate to the geography of Boston, which was also visited by the West's on their "Eastern trip" in October, 1947.
According to the negative sleeve, this photograph was taken in New Orleans. The church standing in the distance is Old North Church in Boston. The Wests visited both Boston and New Orleans during their "Eastern trip" in October, 1947.
An out-of-focus and poorly-lit photograph of 3 women standing on the sidewalk in front of the Paul Revere House in Boston's North End neighborhood. A sliver of N Square passes across the lower right corner on an angle. At center and right, 3 women dressed in dark clothing stand on the sidewalk that lines the front of the Paul Revere House. All face away from camera. The Paul Revere House stands on the far side of the street. It is viewed close-up and at an angle from the front. The timber-constructed dwelling stands 2-stories tall with lattice-pane windows lining both floors. An American flag extends out from the center of the building. A building adjacent to the Paul Revere House stands along the right edge. Two streaks of white enter the frame at far right.
