Nursery. Kern migrant camp, California

#California #FirstAidNursery #second #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange

The image depicts a black and white photograph of an old, single-story building with the sign "First Aid Nursery" displayed prominently above its entrance. The structure appears to be simple in design, made up primarily of horizontal wooden planks as siding.

In front of this small, rural-looking building stands two people: one woman wearing a long coat is holding a child dressed in light-colored clothing and a hat with brim facing backward. They are standing on the sand or dirt ground that surrounds the nursery. The second person's face is partially visible through an open window to the right side of the structure.

There seems to be another individual, possibly male, looking out from behind the wooden door frame but not clearly distinguishable due to their partial visibility and distance from the camera angle. The overall atmosphere suggests a modest setting with limited resources or infrastructure for child care services in this rural area.

The photograph's monochromatic tone adds to its historical context, suggesting it may have been taken during an earlier time period when color photography was not as prevalent.

Western Washington, Grays Harbor County, Elma. Note type architecture, very common in western Washington

The image is a black and white photograph of an old, two-story building. On the first floor, there's a store front with large windows, and a sign that reads "Sundries". There are various items displayed in the window, including what appear to be bottles and possibly some hats or other small items. The second story features a row of dormer windows, indicating an attic space above. Above the entrance door on the upper level is another sign with the word "Grocery" written on it.

The architecture suggests this building might be from the early to mid-20th century, possibly serving as a local store for residents of Elma in Grays Harbor County, Washington. The style of the building, including the cladding and the shape of the windows, is indicative of common types found in western Washington.
