Description

This black and white photograph features a landslide on an outcropping that destroyed a home belonging to a homesteader. Located on the banks of the Red Deer River near Tolman, the outcropping has a sizable area where the results of the landslide can be seen. A log building is still standing along the banks on the left side of the photo. Two men are standing on the river bank between the floor where the house had been and a boat that is moored along the shoreline. Large rocks are seen in the river. Handwriting is below the photograph.
