Depicts the rear of a church with cupolas and spires, probably the Assumption of the Holy Virgin Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church, later Assumption of the Holy Virgin Russian Orthodox Church at 2101 S 28th Street (28th and Snyder Sts.). Church reflects into a large puddle in foreground of picture. Holy Virgin parish was formed by mainly Carpatho-Russian members of the community in 1913.

Notes
Title supplied by cataloger.
Photographer's manuscript note, probably misidentifying church location, on verso of duplicate: Not in Poland. A Polish church at 28th and Wharton Sts. The lagoon is nothing but a mud puddle, formed by the dranage [sic] of rain from the street leval [sic] into this depression. The street at this point is from 4' to 5' above the bottom of what appears to be a charming lake. (Note - There is a large Polish settlement in the neighborhood, many of the men working in the nearby oil works at Point Breeze.
Duplicate: P.8513.215: same neg.
