Photograph of a bird's eye view of the Southern Pacific Hotel and bridge, showing Fort Yuma Indiana School in the distance, Yuma, Arizona, [s.d.]. The wide, two-story hotel stands at center with both levels of porches shaded by the large roof with several protruding chimneys. Various trees obstruct the view of the hotel as they stand in a fenced plot of grass along the front wall. Several people stand in the intersecting roads which frame the hotel and separate it from the small wooden structure on the right and the fenced yard of trees behind it. What appears to be a train car pulling several empty platforms rides along a set of tracks which extend over a bridge on the left. The bridge reaches over a river in the background to the Fort Yuma Indian School on top of the dirt hill on the opposite bank.
