| Summary: | H. H. Holmes wrote the following note on the back of the photograph, addressing it to Thomas M. Owen, director of the Alabama Department of Archives and History: "This is a lovely little view of 'Magnolia Dale' the 'Old Holmes stead' settled 1853 by Dr. Thomas Galphin Holmes the grandson of George Galphin.
