Cleveland, the seat of Bradley County in the foothills of southeastern Tennessee, is the subject here, with its courthouse as the focal point. The caption card gives no date, so the image can't be placed precisely in time. Courthouses like this one usually anchored the county's public life, housing its records, courts, and offices, and they often stood at the center of town. Photographs of them from the period tend to show how a community presented its government to the public. The Library of Congress holds the print in its Prints and Photographs Division, cataloged with a reference to a county courthouse microfiche collection.
