This is a photograph of a large, two-story colonial-style mansion. The mansion has a front porch with columns, symmetrical windows with shutters, a central doorway with glass panels and a decorative arch above it. The roof is flat with a decorative railing, and chimneys are visible on each side. Leafless branches frame the house and the lawn is well-maintained. Shadows from trees fall on the house, and the image is in black and white.
