This is a picture taken during a break in a tennis match dated between 1918 and 1930. The picture is a series of 4 photographs placed together. No longer grass, the courts have changed to clay.

Notable features, besides that of the players themselves, are the numerous straw boaters - a traditional hat for tennis matches of the period - the variety of ladies summer hats, boys wool caps, and a number of vehicles, including, perhaps two Ford Model T's (1908-1928), one with its roof clearly raised into position. The 4-door limousine with the spare on the fender and distinctive door handle locations is reminiscent of at least 5 vehicle types: Phianna (1916-1921), Packard (1920 Model 3-35 Twin-Six Sedan), Pierce Arrow (1921 Model 32 Vestibule Sedan), Lincoln (1922-1928 Limousine), and the Franklin (1924 Model C and 1926 Model A Sedan).

Most, if not all, of the houses still exist today.
