    Description

    A black-and-white photograph of Jack's Memory Chapel, located at 639 E. Marshall Place in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The business is in a front-gabled house that has one story in the front and two or more stories in the back. The building has brick porch posts, light-colored wood siding, a screened-in porch, and a window unit air conditioner in the window at the proper left. In the center of the photograph is a small lamp post next to the sidewalk. At the proper left side of the photograph, below the house's gable, is a long neon sign [JACK'S MEMORY CHAPEL]. At the proper right side of the photograph, above the house's screen porch and on top of the gable, is a clock with the name of the business around the clock [JACK'S MEMORY CHAPEL]. Bordering the house are plants in the flower beds, and the larn is neatly trimmed. Behind the business, at the leftmost edge of the photograph, you can see a carport with one parked vehicle. The photograph has a white border around the image with scalloped edges on the left and right sides.
