Mystery Door

Post Published: April 10, 2007

Do you recognize this scene?

Mystery door

This photograph was taken by Eleanor Lee Templeman, author of "Northern Virginia Heritage" and "Arlington Heritage," which tell the story of our area's development through the 1950s.

This photo was not used in either book, but was part of her donation of photographs to the Community Archives. It may be the door to a springhouse or cold food storage area.
