Description Film negative showing Marriott C. Morris' son Marriott C. Morris Jr. as a boy walking in the grass near Wreck Pond. He wears short pants, a long coat, and a wide-brimmed hat. A bicycle leans against a tree to the left and a bench sits overlooking the pond behind him. The Monmouth House is visible over the water in the distance. Monmouth House was the first major hotel in Spring Lake, completed in 1876. It burned down in 1900, was rebuilt, and remained until 1974. Spring Lake was a coastal resort area popular in the late 19th and early 20th century.
