Description

Dr. John B. Murray, Jr., works on a patient in his dental office in room 205 of the B & I Building. There are two dental chairs facing a large set of windows at the back of the small office. The patient sits in the chair at right and faces the window (away from the camera). “DR. MURRAY DENTIST” is painted in each of the windows. Through the sheer curtains on the window at left, a sign for "T. H. CLARK DRUGS" can be seen painted on the side of a light-colored building. In the foreground at left is a large roll-top desk and at right is a cabinet holding dental tools. The number “197” has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. The number “3” has been written in the upper left corner.
