The picture shows the old Ford home in Columbia, Mississippi, a small town in the southern part of the state that grew up around the county seat of Marion County. The caption card gives no date, so the house's exact age and the period of the photograph are uncertain. Its catalog entry is part of the Wittemann Collection, a group of prints that record scenes of ordinary American life. Late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century views like this one are useful for seeing how modest domestic architecture looked in small southern towns.
