Description

One of two boxes of loose pages. Annotations suggest these are also a part of Russell Kettell's album. Pages were reorganized according to geographical locations, because they did not seem to be in their original order. Fine quality, mostly 8 x 10 black and white photographs. Show exteriors of homes, fireplaces, doorways, garden gazebos, and entrance gates. One folder is mostly unidentified photographs which strongly resemble homes in a southern city possibly Charleston, based on plants, trees and house style. See album # 55.
