Description
An interior photograph of two men sitting in a room with a stove in the foreground. The men are seated in chairs, with the man on the left side of the photograph holding a book in his left hand. The men are sitting to the left of the stove, which appears to be cast iron. The stove door is open, showing decorative details. On the wall behind the men is an assortment of photographs, most of which appear to be of Native American subjects. Some of the photographs are mounted in carved frames. There are 24 fully visible pictures, and one picture partially hidden behind the stove pipe. Also on the back wall are four bookcases, three of which are bookcases with clear-glass fronts. There are two deer heads mounted on the rear wall, below the pictures. Behind the men are two desks with stacks of papers and books on them and a large attaché case sitting on top of the books. On the far bottom left of the photograph, portions of a slatted bench seat, a table with miscellaneous items on it, and a chair can be seen. On the left is a wall with assorted implements hanging. Against that wall is a table with a cloth cover and various items, including a banded hat. [Lee Moorhouse and another man in Moorhouse office. Photos and curios visible on walls.]
