Description
- Content Description: Photograph of the George Ranch house yard focuses on the Nancy Jones oak tree. According to the "1996 George Ranch Historical Park Interpreter Training Manual", the tree was planted in 1824 by Nancy Jones and the Georges later added the tree house for Mary Jones, daughter of Mamie George's cousin Henry Jones. A spiral staircase around the trunk of the tree leads to the large wooden tree house. A pole to the left of the photograph is being utilized to support a huge sagging limb. Another oak tree on left center has a lawn mower leaning against its trunk. There is a wooden chair to the right rear of the tree. Vines top the wire fence to left; shrubs and trees in background. Stamped on back in black: "Jan 27 1937" and "526". Back is watermarked with "Velox".
