A tall picket fence lines the property. Three men and two women stand on the sidewalk evenly lined with trees in front of the fence. The men stand a few feet apart from each other and the women stand next to each other a few feet to the right of the men. The men wear dark-colored hats and suits. The women are attired in dark-colored hats and one is in a light-colored, long-sleeved dress with crinoline skirt, and the other in a dark-colored, long-sleeved dress with crinoline skirt.
