Sepia tone portrait oriented photo 4 3/4"h x 3 1/2"w mounted on heavy umber/gray board. This gentleman was Rufus Hewes, a well and ditch digger who worked at Porto Bello. He had on a dark bucket hat, a light colored shirt, and dark trousers, all well worn. He was standing in front of a small gable roofed, board and batten building with a dark door. There may have been a small dog house directly behind Mr. Hewes. The ground was disturbed on the right side of the photo.
