Black and white photograph of four people standing at the concierge desk inside the Baranof Hotel. There is a man standing behind the concierge desk, wearing a suit jacket, white shirt, and tie. His left hand is presumably resting on the counter. At the concierge desk are two men and two women. On the far proper left is a man wearing a long coat, carrying a hat in his left hand. There is a suitcase on the ground beside him. To the proper right is a woman wearing a long coat, a hat, and high—heeled shoes. To the proper proper right of her is another woman wearing a long coat, a dress, and high—heeled shoes. She is facing a man on her left. The man is wearing a long coat, a shirt, pants, and a hat. His left arm is bent and resting on the counter, with his hand under his chin. His right arm is bent and at his hip. To the proper right of him is a door to access the concierge desk. On the proper right are doors, entering the hotel is a man dressed in a coat, hat, shirt, tie, and pants. His left hand is on the handle of the door second from the right, pushing it open. On the floor is the Baranof Hotel logo. The Baranof logo is made up of the side profile of two eagles with their wings spread standing back to back, a crown above the eagles' heads, and a large capital letter 'B' in the center of the graphic. There is a drinking fountain attached to the wall on the proper left. Above are two light fixtures spaced apart. Above the drinking fountain is a metal sign that has a man's side profile and words that read: "ALEXANDER BARANOF \ CZAR OF RUSSIAN AMERICA \ ALASKA \ DOMINEERING HE RULED WITH AN IRON \ HAND FROM 1791 TO 1818 \ PIONEER BUILDER EDUCATOR \ NOTED FOR HIS GREAT \ HOSPITALITY \ DECORATED BY ALEXANDER I \ CZAR OF ALL RUSSIAS" On the bottom right corner of the photo, there is the number "49224" Printed on the bottom right corner of the white border that surrounds the photograph is "Roger Dudley \ SEATTLE"
