Description
Sepia-toned image mounted on printed cardstock of a three-story, gabled home with an extension on the back. The house is Georgian Colonial style, with a covered porch with elaborately carved supports. The porch roof provides a balcony for the upper floor. Two men stand in front of the house, both wearing suits and holding hats in one hand. There is a small dog in the yard behind the men. The yard is grassy, and a number of trees and bushes are scattered close to the house and throughout the yard.
