[Photograph of Trolley Line Meeting Members at Stagecoach Inn]

Photograph of a large group of people, mostly men wearing different hats, standing in front of a two-story building with a balcony all along the second story. Some of the people are sitting in or standing on the five automobiles parked in front of the building, or are standing beside them. A few of the men at the middle-right of the group have brass instruments and a drum. Although much of the building is obscured by the tall trees surrounding it, a few women are visible standing on the balcony and porch of the building. A title on the front of the photo and handwritten notes on the back of the photo indicate the photo was taken in front of the Stagecoach Inn in Salado, Texas.
