Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. A distant view of the Leland Stanford Jr. Museum on the campus of Stanford University. It stands in the distance, partially obscured by small trees and shrubbery that dot the landscape in front of it. The building appears to stand slightly lopsided. A tall porch supported by 4 columns stands at the center of the building. Four sculptures stand atop the roof at center. A dirt path runs horizontally across the foreground. Text from negative sleeve: Palo Alto, Calif. September [handwritten:] ^ 25 [end handwritten] 1898. On the way to and from San Francisco to visit the Iowa soldiers going to Manila in the Spanish American War. I stopped off at Palo Alto to spend a day with Frances Nichols, a girl of my acquaintance, the attending Stanford University. 1. The Campus. Stanford University. 2. Some portion of the University. 3.
