The Willoughby A. Reade collection includes a photo album, glass plate negatives, and contact prints. The thirty-eight page photo album has seventy-eight prints, the majority of which are platinum prints fixed to the pages with handwritten captions underneath. These photographs depict the period from approximately 1901 to 1910. One of the photographs depicts girls in front of a small number of tents, likely the earliest days of Mary Reade's summer camp, Glenrochie. The album also contains photographs of the house The Meadows, and a few men, women and children, with a predominance of landscapes, including Abingdon. The majority of prints are composed in the pictorialist style, and they show locations of special interest in the surrounding region, including Devil's Backbone, South Holston River, Pinnacle Rock at White Top, and the vista of Red Rock Cove. The glass plate negatives match sixteen prints in the album.
