Photograph demonstrating the process of hand-laying each brick for the fireplace in a new house at 298 North Normal Street Ypsilanti, Michigan. It is noted the house will be a brick veneer style, is located on Normal Street, and was constructed in 1912. The picture shows the brick work that will form the fireplace in the house and the bump out in the foundation to accommodate it. The interior of the house has exposed wooden beams and posts. Holes are cut in the wooden frame of the house for windows to be installed. Workers have begun laying the exterior veneer brick around the foundation of the house. Jefferson would often use the same negative to create a lantern slide as well as a mounted stereographic card. When possible we have indicated if it is a repeat image, however this is not always the case. As such, there may be a corresponding digitized glass lantern slide, and a mounted stereographic card associated with this stereographic negative within the Mark Jefferson Collection.
