Description:

This black and white photograph shows a house broken apart. In the foreground at center and to the right are pieces of a brick chimney. There is another portion of the chimney behind the one at the center of the picture. Amid the chimney pieces is a section of floor boards behind which can be seen pieces of the house (walls, floors, roofing). Behind all this debris is the house itself, tipped off its foundation with walls and floors missing. Attached to the main structure is a covered back porch. Behind the wreck of the house can be seen a two story standing house. See notes.
