A man and two women are seated on the small front porch of an unidentified boarding house which occupies the end unit of a larger, two story building. Three children are standing near the adults. An iron fence surrounds the structure, and encloses a small yard. The number 955 is faintly visible on a plaque above the front door. The number “239” has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. No number has been written in the upper left corner.
