View of the Dining Hall building. The caption identifies it as the "New Dining Hall." This building was built to replace the original building used as the dining hall when the school opened in 1879. 

Students lined up along the road in front of the dining hall, as if in a parade. There are three wagons with horses, students in uniform, including some with instruments. There are two people leading the group, one in full feather headdress.

The Cumberland County Historical Society's version of this image identifies him as Ai-sia-tiw-me or Comanche John.

Existing building (the South Barracks) used as the first school building. Students are posed on the balconies and lined up to enter the building. A sign attached at the near end of the building reads "Schoolrooms." 

This building was demolished in July 1888 and replaced with a new building for the same purpose.

Previous cataloging from the National Anthropological Archives had interpreted the handwritten caption as reading "Thomas Dummick and Joseph St. Clair" and had identified all the sitters as "non-native." However, these do appear to be students in their school uniforms and there is no apparent reason not to think that they are Indian students and these are their families.
