Old Coffee Club building

Photograph of a dark, two-story wooden gabled home with white gingerbread trim. The front porch is covered, with a squared-off, shingled roof, and the posts are carved and painted white with dark interiors and white curlicues on either side where they meet the eaves. A door with a screen is just visible behind a vine on the front porch, and an open, double-hung window is directly above the porch. A bay window is visible on the side of the house, behind several bushes, and three large deciduous trees are spaced evenly down the side yard along side a boardwalk that begins in the front of the house and turns down the side. That boardwalk ends at a side entrance, which is just visible behind the vegetation. A hammock hangs between the first two trees. A poured sidewalk leads up to the main entrance of the house, with mud and vegetation visible on the other side. Boards are piled to the right of the image, and a scaffolding rises out of the picture. A large, sloped sided building dominates the background of the image, with a smaller gabled entrance featuring a white door at the front.
