Description
A black-and-white photograph of the entrance to what appears to be a fairgrounds or rodeogrounds. It has been identified as Major Moorhouse's Indian exhibit, exterior, at Round-Up, 1913. American flags are mounted at intervals along the roof line of the wooden building. Flags and bunting draped across the top partially obscure painted words including agricultural society. Painted lower down on the wall one can see [fa]ir and [Rode]o Sept. 13th 1913. There are also posters or newspapers affixed above the entranceway and to its right. A sign saying Main Entrance has been put up over the doorway, partially obscuring the other posters. To the left of the door other signs have been posted that read Major Moorehouse's World Famous Indian Exhibit. Admission 25 cents. Two men stand in the shadow of the building on the sidewalk in front of the open doorway, wearing suits, hats, and ties. One of them may be Major Lee Moorhouse. To their right is a utility or flag pole. About ten feet above them a line with pennants is extended along the sidewalk. To their left are seven shuttered ticket offices and another, closed, door. There are piles of litter or leaves in the street.
