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. This photograph shows the interior of a second-floor room which would eventually house the archives and library of the Germantown Historical Society, room 208. The fireplace in the room is visible behind the worker kneeling/ sitting at center right.
