The title places this glass negative at Cresson, a mountain community in Cambria County, Pennsylvania, and names a house called Thaw Home, though that name comes from unverified Bain News Service caption data and no date survives. Cresson grew up along the Pennsylvania Railroad's main line on the Allegheny Plateau, where its high air drew summer visitors and later a state sanatorium for tuberculosis patients. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency active in the early twentieth century, sold pictures like this one to newspapers, so it may have been made for a news or feature story. Treat the house's identity as a lead to confirm rather than a settled fact.
