This is one of two near identical photos: one smiling; one unsmiling. I've cropped the inscription that reads Stanley Beach 1934 at the top. The legend on the back reads "Our matshed". It looks a rather solid construction for a matshed. The one next to it looks more of a classic matshed. The photo shows Cicely Warren and her children with another couple. Sorry about the quality of the photo.
