Description
-
Photograph of raised houses located in Panama. It is noted that the photograph was taken in 1926. The house on the left appears to be two rooms and a single story but it is raised almost an entire story off the ground. A wooden staircase leads up to the house and porch is constructed on the front to allow for airflow through the house. The second house is more ornate and much bigger. It is the same double room style, but has a rear addition that adds extra floor space. A cupola caps the ridge line and the house is raised on shorter wooden pillars. Vegetation surrounds the houses. 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.
