Description

Black and white photograph of the lobby of the Hotel Northern in 1913. The photograph shows the manager of the hotel, Thomas Henry Keef, standing behind the desk. A First National Bank calendar behind him shows the date as Tuesday, 15 April 1913. The calendar is hung above a wall of cubbies for the hotel room keys. A safe stands behind him, to the right, with both doors open. To the right of the desk is a glass display counter with various cigar boxes open and on display. A map from the Iowa State Traveling Men's Asscociation with a calendar below is hung on the door behind Keef. A large register is on the counter to his right, with a Piper Heidsieck advertisement behind it. There is a note written in pencil on the back that has been mostly erased as well as five math equations.
