Places identified on the photographs include: Spray, North Carolina("home"); Morehead City, North Carolina; Woodberry Forest School(1908-1911); Charlotte, North Carolina; the University of Virginia(1912-1916), including the Rotunda, the Football Squad in 1913, the Lawn, the Virginia(34) - Vanderbilt(0) Football Game on November 1, 1913, and the [ Lambda Pi Fraternity?]. Most of the University of Virginiaphotographs were taken by Holsinger Studio. A negative envelope found in the album had the name Mr. J.L. Moreheadon the front. John Lindsay Morehead, Charlotte, North Carolina, attended the University of Virginia1912-1916, and graduated from the College on June 14, 1916; thus he was probably the former owner of this album.
