Description
Partial view of a large, columned building and garden in front. Although not identified, it is believed to be located in Sochi, Russia near the Black Sea. It is probably a government sponsored sanitarium, one of several in that city at that time. Charles Thayer visited two while there. The individuals in view are not identified. According to Charles Thayer's curriculum vitae: "In 1955 I made an extended tour of European and Asiatic Russia and wrote a series for the Saturday Evening Post on post-Stalinist Soviet Union." It is believed that this picture was taken during that trip.
