Mountain City, in the northeast corner of Tennessee, is the seat of Johnson County, and its courthouse was the civic center of a small mountain town where court days, elections, and county records drew residents in from surrounding farms and hollows. The caption card gives no date for this print, and its other details come from older notes that have not been verified, so the building's exact period is best confirmed from the original source. Clues such as the street, the roofline, and any signage can help viewers judge when the picture was taken.
