Glass negatives like this one, measuring 8 by 6 inches, were the working originals of early twentieth-century photography, and this example is titled simply "Wilson House," a name the National Photo Company recorded on the negative or its sleeve, though the record marks that title as unverified. The company produced large numbers of architectural and street views in the years around 1920, when glass plates were still common for commercial work. Visitors should look for the streaks and blemishes the record notes, which come from the natural breakdown of the original emulsion coatings and give the plate its aged character.
