Notes of interest
  • One of the men in the gateway wears a boater and carries plans: presumably the architect. The man next to him in cap and suit may be the foreman. Clothes indicated rank within professions at that time.
  • Building workers are posed on the scaffolding.
  • The horse and cart are obviously posed at the entrance, perhaps to show the builder's transport.
Date Postmarked 29 November 1914, but probably photographed 1910-1912
