Tindor Mansion in Leonardtown, Maryland, is the subject of this view, which the National Photo Company likely made around 1920 under the heading "Leonardtown Tour." The company was a Washington, D.C., commercial firm that photographed scenic and historic sites and sold views as postcards, so this negative belongs to a large body of travel-oriented pictures. Leonardtown, the seat of St. Mary's County in southern Maryland, is one of the state's older towns. The streaks and blemishes on the glass come from deterioration of its original coating, and the title was recorded by the company and has not been independently verified.
