Snow's in Summer: 1953
Columbus, Georgia, circa 1953. "Snow's Laundry." With plenty of free parking for your car, bike or wagon. 4x5 negative from the News Archive. View full size.
Ironic
The Speed Graphic illustrated has the drop-bed feature deployed --- which the photographer apparently did not while using a wide angle lens.
The Photographer
He would be sitting in front of the Warren Williams apartment complex, which is a post-WWII subsidized housing project. The complex still stands today, even though Snow's is gone.
What's that in the foreground?
I can't get a clue.
[Looks a lot like the out-of-focus front end of a Speed Graphic, the most common 4x5 press camera. -tterrace]
Mostly Gone
Only the lefthand section of the building remains.
