Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph, from left to right, of Mertie West and H. H. West posing in front of a car parked along a street in Valdez. The photograph appears to tilt slightly downward to the left. The wood-plank road stretches through the foreground on an upward angle from left to right. Mertie and H. H. West stand, left-of-center, and smile to the camera. Mertie leans to the left as H. H. holds onto her by the arm. Behind them, a car is parked. It is viewed at an angle from the side; its front end extends past the left frame. Businesses line the far side of the street. An awning hangs over the sidewalk. A barber shop sign hangs down from the awning behind and to the right of H. H. Etching in the window of the business at far right reads, "CORDELL TRANSFER STORAGE CO. Phone 28 FUEL." A few people stand on the sidewalk and along the right edge in the background. Text from negative sleeve: 2199. Alaska Trip Valdez Aug.9,1946 1. Our boat 2. Tow car on dock 3. Unloading cargo 4.
