Description

Street scene of the town of Darwin during the winter, no date but possibly taken the same time as 1955.912.32b (winter of 1913-1914). Written in blue ink on reverse: Winter--looking down Main Street--Darwin where water tanks are--poor film--house on left built 1876--called "Thompson house" and is still standing. Had been added on to in 1920s--old bachelors lived in it. "Batched." 1977 This photo was included with manuscript 1955.912.32a, in which Elizabeth Mecham writes of this photo: Enclosed are some more pictures for the museum--I've been going through old films and these show what a nice little old [town] Darwin was back in the 1910s--before our fires. The faint two show how the main street looked "wide--to turn a 16 mule team around in."
