DescriptionRoosevelt town with railroad in mountains, Arizona". On envelope is wriitten "Roosevelt Dam & vicinity". A slide from an illustrated lecture "Grand Canyon -- Petrified Forest / Wonders of Arizona" by Edwin G. Decker.

Note from History Curator Jared Smith (Feb 18, 2016) - I believe that this photo is actually Bisbee, AZ. A building near right of center is almost certainly the Copper Queen Hotel. Also, the building in the center foreground appears to have "Bank of Bisbee" over the door. A comparison of similar images should confirm that this is indeed Bisbee.
