Description

Photograph of two unidentified people holding hallowed logs from the first pipes used for domestic water, ca.1950. The elderly man on the left has little hair and wears a suit as he holds the deteriorating log. On the left stands a young, blonde woman with a lightly-colored blouse and a woven, flared skirt holding her hallowed log facing the foreground. They stand in front of a stone fountain with a dark centerpiece and various trees daunting over the quaint park. Photoprint reads "In 1860 a crude wooden water wheel and a tiny brick reservoir were added".
