Maximum security cottage – Youth Guidance Center

A black-and-white photograph shows a large institutional complex labeled as the "Maximum Security Cottage - Youth Guidance Center." In the foreground, several low, flat-roofed buildings are surrounded by a tall chain-link fence topped with barbed wire, indicating a secure facility. The buildings have numerous windows and are arranged in a grid-like pattern, with paved walkways and a curved driveway running alongside the perimeter fence. In the background, a larger multi-story building sits on a hillside, with rows of parked cars in front and residential homes scattered up the slope behind it. Tall trees flank the scene, and the overall setting appears to be on the edge of an urban area, with a mix of institutional and residential architecture visible in the distance. The photo is taken from an elevated vantage point, providing a wide view of the entire complex and its surroundings. The image is monochrome, emphasizing the stark and orderly nature of the facility.
