A two-story white house with a pedimented central portico and columns stands among palm trees and larger trees draped with Spanish moss. A white railing crosses the second-story balcony, and a side pergola runs along the house. The caption presents it as a typical colonial Southern home, an idealized image of the region's classical, columned houses and moss-hung grounds.
