The image depicts two historical black and white photographs mounted on a single page. Both images are identified as being related to the almshouses of Schenectady County, New York.

On the left side of the page, the first photograph is labeled "Surrounding District." It shows a street view with several houses in the background. The street is lined with utility poles and has a curved path with visible stones on either side, possibly serving as markers or edging.

Here, a larger brick building with a prominent central tower is visible, flanked by smaller structures. This suggests the central building likely served an administrative function for the almshouses. The architecture features a formal entrance with steps leading up to a porch, and there are other buildings nearby, all arranged in what seems like a campus or a compound with an open field in the foreground.

These photographs highlight the architecture and layout of Schenectady County's almshouses during the time period the image was taken.
