Letter from William H. Moyer to Benjamin F. Barnes

Letter from William H. Moyer to Benjamin F. Barnes

The photograph that William H. Moyer sent President Roosevelt is of the old house in Roswell. Moyer is sending pictures of the outside of the house and views of the room where Roosevelt’s parents were married. Since the day was dark and stormy good views, especially interior views, were impossible. Moyer will gladly return to Roswell on a bright day to take more pictures.

Scenes of the Bulloch home in Roswell, Georgia

Scenes of the Bulloch home in Roswell, Georgia

This film consists of views of the childhood home of Theodore Roosevelt’s mother, Martha Bulloch Roosevelt, in Roswell, Georgia, and of the last remaining bridesmaid in Martha’s wedding, Catherine Evelyn King Baker. There is a long shot of Bulloch Hall, which was a stately Greek Revival home, designed, as were many other classic homes in the Roswell area, by Willis Ball. A medium-close shot of unidentified men sitting and standing on the front porch follows. Next, a closer view of the columned porch, followed by views of the side of the house, with a grape arbor visible, the barn and outbuildings, the skyline, and a well. Then there is a view from inside the house of men approaching a doorway, followed by a medium-close shot of Baker, wearing a long dark dress, seated in a chair outdoors.
