The picture shows a large, multi-story wooden hotel with broad verandas, set among tall trees at the end of a dirt road; an American flag flies from a tall pole in front. The printed caption names it "The Hotel at Lutherland." Lutherland was a Lutheran summer resort in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, and the hotel served as its central lodging house in the early 20th century.
