Description

A large house is shown here. The original photograph is not in good condition. A black man (in shirtsleeves) may be seen on the first floor, next to a seated black lady. Two black men, more formally dressed, stand on the second floor. The building was owned by John Lezine, who began as a cook, and ended up owner. The hotel (and later private building) was operated as a hotel for black people. The presumed street in the front does not appear to be paved.
