Page 45 contains a photograph with a printed caption at the bottom which reads: "Valley Green Inn, a Treasure House of Tradition, Nestles in Deep Woodland on the Left bank of the Creek." The photograph is undated and shows a two story building with an overhang roof supported by columns on the first floor front, serving as a porch. The porch floor is raised apporximately three-four steps from the road. The words "Valley Green" can be seen on the side of the building, and a sign protrudes from the front of the building over the porch roof. Magnification of the sign reveals the words "Tea Room" and a drawing of people sitting around at the top of the sign. Chairs can be seen arranged on the front porch. Beyond the building is a "lean-to" like structure which may have served as shleter for horses. To the left, is a stone wall with a wooden, covered entryway. Forbidden Drive is seen in the lower foreground and extends into the distance out of camera range.Collection
