The record gives this view the place name Pennoch, New York, though the title was supplied from unverified data written on the negative or its sleeve, so the location deserves a check before it is relied on. The image survives as a 4 by 5 inch glass negative dated 1924, one of many made by the National Photo Company, a commercial firm that documented American towns and cities in the early twentieth century. The plate shows streaks and blemishes from the gradual breakdown of its original coating, a common condition for glass negatives of this age. The negative came to the Library of Congress as a gift from Herbert A. French in 1947.
