This grayscale photograph shows two people standing on the steps outside a brick building. The person on the left is wearing a light-colored coat, holding onto the stair railing with one hand and an American flag with the other. The person on the right is wearing a striped jacket, dark pants, and a hat, with their hands in pockets. They both appear to have dark skin and dark hair. In the window to the left of the steps, a third person is visible, leaning out of the window. The window also contains two framed photographs. The building has detailed stonework around the windows and door, and the doorway displays the number "1420."
