Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of an old screened hut on the Sunset Gun Club grounds, overgrown with weeds and going to ruin. A large streak of white stretches from the lower right corner and up to the left, obscuring the bottom portion of the image. In the near distance at center, the screened hut, formerly used for cleaning ducks, stands. The small square hut is viewed at an angle. Wood slats surround the bottom of the structure and screening surrounds the upper third of it. To the left, tall grasses and weeds grow in clump that intrudes upon the hut. Wetlands are visible extending into the distance at right. Text from negative sleeve: 1980. Sunset Gun Club. Taken December 18, 1942. 1. The old Sunset Gun Club house looking north east.
