View of Grand Junction Town & Development Company's first office, on 2nd (Second) and Ute Streets, in Grand Junction, Colorado, with R.D. Mobley and Mrs. Jackson posed in front of the small one-room log cabin with sod roof. A "dress making" sign is attached to the cabin and a pile of firewood is between two posts supporting wire or string. Outhouses in back of the cabin show. The cabin is thought to be the first structure built in Grand Junction with R.D. Mobley the first postmaster.
