A color polaroid photograph of the interior of the Tepee under restoration taken July 1979 by restoration architect Raymond Girvigian. Taken from the entrance, the view is of the west interior wall with the fireplace at lower center. To the left is part of a ladder, while at right is the entrance into the bathroom area. Above the fireplace is part of the row of concrete tiles inset into the wall of the structure and which wraps around the interior. At the top center is a light fixture chain and bulb housing, though the fixture is removed. The entire wall has been prepared with a white substance for a final plastering. A small portion of the entrance door can be seen at the upper right. On the reverse is an inscription in ink by Girvigian reading "Teepee / interior fireplace / prior to restoration / July 1979 / photo by archt." Below this is a stamp with Girvigian's name, business address and telephone number, covered over by a piece of scotch tape. There is little or no indication of wear or damage, so the artifact is in good condition.
