Description

Album of 21 photographs on 18 sheets of an unidentified colonial revival house signed and dated by photographer Hart, 1920-1924, with a leather cover. The series begins with the exterior, stairhall, living room, music room and gardens of the house and continues with the large greenhouse and its contents of houseplants. An unidentified bearded man, presumably the owner himself, is depicted amongst his plants in five photographs toward the end of the album.
