Description

4 1/2"h x 2 7/8"w black and white portrait oriented photo of the water tower of the Point Lookout Hotel. There were five legs and the center pipe supporting the large dark tank. There were two sets of horizontal bracing and many guy wires to keep the structure rigid. There was a walkway around the tank. "Point Lookout" was painted in large white letters on the visible side of the tank. Three men were standing under the tower. There appeared to be a similar structure under construction some distance away. ******************************************************************** Text on the verso handwritten in pencil "June 1929" and stamped in teal ink "519 Fleet Photo Washington, D.C."
