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