People stand around the ruins of the Hotel Julien, which burned on April 8, 1913. The back of the photo says that 60-75 lives were saved by the Clarke Rope fire escape.
Three rows of girls in white dresses and black stockings stand on the steps of a building. All are holding a rolled piece of paper tied with ribbon, probably diplomas of their school. There is no identification.
A boy is seated on the edge of a stone bridge over a river and looks to be fishing. A horse stands behind him. The card is in color and the sky is in pinks and blues.
Men and women gather around the ruins of the Hotel Julien. Writing on the photo says that "60-75 lives saved by Clarks Rope Fire Escape, at this fire."
Two men are in the center of a paved path with lights hanging overhead; one is laughing while the other looks backward. There are couples and women on benches to the sides of the path, and the background looks like a garden.
Four men are in a long boat on the river, one rowing and the others fishing. There is another boat with three men in the background. One of the men is Peter B. Hoffmann Sr., and the others are probably Albert, Edward and Emil Youngblood.
Three younger men are climbing on a broken-over and hollowed-out tree. One is in the space at the bottom, one is inside the trunk near the top, and the other is climbing up the outside.
Two men are seated on the trunk nearest the camera and two on the farther one. The nearest possibly are Albert and Edward, while one of the far men is Peter B. Hoffmann Sr. and the other may be Emil Youngblood.
