The title pairs two place names, "McNeely, Wash." and "Dickson, St. L.," though the record marks them as unverified, so the pairing may come from a sleeve label rather than a confirmed subject. The negative belongs to the National Photo Company, a commercial firm that documented American cities, sites and everyday scenes in the early twentieth century, and its date of about 1925 is bracketed because it is inferred from nearby negatives. Viewers should expect streaks and blemishes caused by natural deterioration of the original coatings. Herbert A. French gave the plate to the Library of Congress in 1947.
