Black and white photo of the a room inside the Buck-Wardwell House, built by Henry Seitz, at 16109 East Jefferson Avenue in Grosse Pointe Park. A fireplace is on the right. Candle sticks and decorative glassware are displayed along its mantel. A circular mirror with a eagle motif atop its frame is hung above the fireplace. Two dog sculptures stand at the foot of the fireplace. A fur rug is on the floor in front of the fireplace. To the right of the fireplace is a small alcove next to a stairwell, containing a small bench. A portrait is hung above the bench, and a small table holding a lamp is at the foot of the bench. Two flights of carpeted stairs lead up from the right edge of the photo. Light shines in through a window on the landing. "Mich 12," is printed below the bench. "Seitz-Wardwell house," "Victor Stankiewicz 1936," and "9741, 1-2" are handwritten on the verso. A Library of Congress stamp on the verso reads:
