DescriptionA three-story house with louvered shutters and a porch supported by Ionic columns is situated on a grassy lawn. Vines, probably ivy, grow on the walls. Shrubs grow near the foundations and large trees are at left and right near two other nearby houses. A cellar hatchway is at the left. There appears to be a greenhouse in the left background. A paved walk with a railing leads to the front door. A low fence and a paved sidewalk line the cobblestone street, which has trolley tracks in it. An elderly man with a beard stands at the right, near a man on horseback.
NotesSubject Note: Henry Barnard died in 1900.
