One in a series of ten black and white photographs of the Fromberger-Harkness House at 5501 Germantown Avenue, under renovations circa 1952-1953. The home would become that of the Germantown Mutual Fire Insurance Company and later, the Germantown Historical Society and Historic Germantown. In this view, the photographer was standing on the south side of Church Lane facing towards the southeastern corner of the building. Construction of the stairs leading to the south entrance of the building- those to the first floor- is underway.
