A residence in Knoxville, Tennessee, identified on its caption card as the home of C.C. Dodson, is the subject here. The print is reported to have been shown in the American Negro exhibit at the Paris Exposition of 1900, a display assembled to present the lives, homes, and progress of Black Americans to an international audience. Pictures like this one were meant to challenge the racist stereotypes common at the time, so the domestic setting carries as much weight as the house itself. The record dates it only approximately, to around 1899.
