This image looks north along a gravel street through Palmer's Community Center with the Hospital largely visible at right foreground and the school beyond. At left foreground one of the staff houses is partially visible with the "Dorm" partially visible just beyond. The "Rec" (recreation) Hall is seen in left middle ground with the Creamery and other buildings partially visible beyond and the Water Tower above in middle ground at far left. The dark Talkeetna Mountains are visible in background under overcast skies. Several birch trees in full leaf are scattered throughout with an obvious row of young trees planted in front of the Hospital. A man, identified as Don Irwin, is obviously walking along the street toward the camera in near foreground. A Ford pickup is parked on the street across from the walk leading to the Hospital entrance. The "HOSPITAL" sign is partially visible over the entry door.
