Original envelope reads: "Fire / Oakland, Calif. / 1931-1939." The photograph shows the interior room of a wooden building after a fire. A bed frame with a mattress appears at lower left. A newspaper clipping adhered to the back of the photograph reads, "From this charred bedroom rescuers snatched four young children last night as an arsonist's fire swept a Grove street creamery and apartment. Two of the children were sleeping in this bed. At right, Mrs. Frances Arnold, mother of the children, thanks Fay M. Baker, a rescuer. Bobbie, 4, bestows a big hug while Billy, 3, and Virginia, 6, look on. - Tribune photo." "TIRB D MAY 15, 1936" is stamped in ink on the newspaper clipping. "Creamery[covered] / no 1 / 6 cot la[covered]" handwritten in graphite at center on verso.
