A view of the approach from the Main Street direction towards the William M. Rice Institute’s Administration Building, seen in the distance, on the left-hand side of the image. The foreground and middle distance show several dirt roads leading towards the Administration Building through a large muddy field, with a few trees scattered throughout. In the distance on the right-hand side of the image the Mechanical Laboratory building can be seen, with smoke trailing from the power plant tower. Written on the bottom left-hand corner is the date “2, 10, 13”, and on the lower middle is written: “Looking N.W. from Main Ent”. Photograph taken by Frank J. Schleuter.
