We made it through one unseasonably hot week, so let’s have some fun and play #PhotoIDFriday! 🕵️‍♂️📷 Here are five gentlemen standing on a sidewalk during what looks like the 1920s in late winter or early spring. We know the man in the center is Orville J. Hall Sr., a former professor at the University of Arkansas, so these other men might be faculty members as well! Can you help us solve this mystery? • Who are the other men in this picture? • Where was this photo taken? Share your thoughts and sleuthing tips in the comments below! (And if you re-share this post, please set your post privacy to Public so we can track down your leads!) Photo is from the Shiloh Museum's Orville J. Hall Jr. and Susan Dulan Hall Collection (S-2025-57-337). #ShilohMuseum #UniversityofArkansas #FayettevilleArkansas
