Field Day 1919, start of one-mile race, 1919

Negative no.B2260. August [9], 1919. Image depicts groups of men, women, and children gathering at the baseball field for the event, most likely arranged by the Draper Corporation. Everyone is dressed in "Sunday best." Four male runners have begun the race, starting in the left center background (shallow left field). Since the field is encircled with poles and rope, the runners apparently run a circuit around the field for a mile. Founders of the Draper Company, brothers George and Ebenezer were responsible for creating an integrated, planned community with innovative employee housing and recreational spaces and company events, in addition to employment. 8 x 10 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 12, Folder 1, Item 2260 for print of this negative.
