A row of large two-story frame houses with gables and porches stands behind bare trees, facing an open body of water that curves across the foreground. The caption places the neighborhood of Homewood opposite Harrison Park in Hammond, Indiana, a growing industrial city near the Illinois line in the early twentieth century. The leafless trees and flat, pale water suggest late autumn or winter.
