Description
Photograph of a Mojave Indian house under construction, Parker, Arizona, ca.1900. Three stages of construction are visible: vertical wooden posts with horizontal planks on the inside, horizontal lath sticks, and mud mortar on the outside. A ladder leans against the house near a pile of firewood. A wagon sits at the left of the house. A dog and cat nap on the ground near a batch of cooking implements and a shovel at right. The shadow of the photographer and his tripod-mounted camera are in the foreground.
