Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the state reform school in Salem, Oregon, [s.d.]. A four story brick building with a belltower can be seen to the right of center atop a hill. A second building with a six story tower is visible to the left of the first. A hedge of bushes grow in front of both buildings. A dirt road runs underneath a sign reading, "Oregon State Reform School. Reform school visitors admitted from 10 to 12 AM and 2 to 4 PM. No visitors allowed on Saturdays or Sundays". The dirt road splits to the left and to the right. A dirt road runs across the foreground, while grass can be seen on the ground in between the roads.
