Description
Reminiscent of a small Swiss chalet, the Mountain Home Inn is seen from across the road. There is a buckboard wagon on one side of the Inn, a well, mailboxes, and a sign on the other side. The sign says "Mountain Home Inn", "Restaurant", "Lunches and Dinners". The other words are two small to read. There is also a sign that says "Good Food Mountain Home Inn" on the near side of the Inn and a small hanging sing in the front corner that says "Restaurant". The near side of the Inn is mostly covered with trees. There appears to be a small piece of either a phone box or a bus shelter at the extreme right of the photo. There is a small stone fence along the front of the Inn. Part of the mountain is visible beyond the other side of the building.
