Catalogued under the title "McKeever & Goss, Dutar house," this glass negative shows a single residence rather than a famous landmark, though the title is marked as unverified and comes from notes the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve. The company was a commercial photographer active in the early twentieth century, and this plate is dated only to a span between 1910 and 1935. Herbert A. French gave it to the Library of Congress in 1947. The streaks and blotches visible across the plate come from the emulsion coating breaking down over time, a common condition in glass negatives of this age.
