Work Description:

This marvelous photo shows the hospital all alone -on a high hill overlooking peaceful rural Boulder Valley. Plowed fields, wire fences and dirt paths wander in and out. At the right is a two span wooden bridge over Boulder Creek approximately where the Folsom (24th) Street Bridge is today. To the left of it is the wooden tower of a nearby oil well. A second oil well is to the left and a third (?) may be seen beyond the second. Corn shocks are In the field to the left of the oil wells. At the hospital a man is doing something at the near side door, two people are sitting in the late afternoon sun on the second floor of the porch. A large clothesline is west of the building and on it it looks like a large robe, three blankets and underwear. The roof of some kind of square out-building is to the left of the clothes¬line. The roof of the hospital shows two distinct textures and the brace for the left chimney is in place. A deep trench across the picture is the cut in which the railroad crossed the campus. The rails can't be seen. A board walk from the front door of the hospital passes through a gate where new trees are planted, crosses the road where it forks, and goes down steps to the railroad grade. A horse and cart are stopped at the walk crossing. The cart is a funny two wheel cart with the driver standing up at the rear with a canopy over his head. He may be waiting for the upbound team and wagon which is blurred. One of the ornamental towers of Old Main is seen at the lower right, and through the trees at the left a young couple are strolling.

It suddenly dawned on me that this picture which J.R.B. dated "02" was most probably taken on Oct. 4, 1902. J.R.B. was on the east roof of Main on the late afternoon of Oct. 4, 1902, when he took pictures 2-k and 2-5 of the Nebraska Football game. After the game was over he took 1-5 of the Anatomy Building. No. 1-5 is not dated, but one can clearly identify wagons, etc. from the game pictures as being in 1-5. The shadows are already quite long in 1-5 as they are here so I'm quite certain that after he took 1-5 he moved his camera around to the N.E. corner of the east roof of Main to take this last picture of the day. The couple strolling at the lower left are probably on their way home from the Nebraska Football game.
