Family on the front porch

Description

Four people on the front porch of a house. Two women and a girl are dressed in their finest dresses. Hemline on one woman’s dress is above ankle length. This woman and the girl are each wearing a flower pinned on their dresses. The other woman is wearing a blouse and ankle length skirt. The man has a beard and is wearing a tie and suit. The house has a gable front and does not have a full second story. There is a second story door in the middle of the gable that leads to an open area above the porch that is enclosed with a short railing. The covered porch extends across the entire front of the house. The front yard is tall grass with some flowers and plants along the board walkway to the front porch. A wire fence runs across the front of the yard.
