A garden surrounded by a post and rail fence surrounds the portion of the house in the photo. The front of the house is covered with plain, unpainted wooden shingles. A black front door is centrally located with single windows to the right and left. The windows' frames and shutters are painted red. The side of the house is painted red and covered with clapboards. Green plants growing in the garden obscure the first-floor windows on the side of the house. Much of the left portion of the picture is dominated by trees in autumn colors of orange, yellow and green, which also lay fallen on the grounds surrounding the house. These trees shade most of the house but splashes of light break through to the roof and front of the house.
