Description
Photograph of a front view of Juarez Race Track Grand Stand, ca.1900. In the center sits a large building with two towers on each side with its front area exposed, which serves as the spectators' area
people are either standing or sitting in this area. To the left, what appears to be a row of benches is visible. In the right, a large house is observable with a crowd of people covering its front area, who are also standing behind a white fence. Along the fence, a two-level small cabin is viewable to the right showing men with binoculars standing either in front of it or on its balcony. The fence extends along a track of dirt that covers the foreground.
