A black and white photograph of a house and barn behind a white picket fence.

The black and white photograph shows a white picket fence in the foreground that stretches from the left to right side. Behind and to the left is a barn with one window and double doors with an X design. We see the side of a white house with eight windows with shutters and a small diamond shaped window on the right edge of the house in the upper right corner. A dark fence cuts off part of the bottom row of windows of the house.
