DescriptionA view of a crossroads. A street sign attached to a utility pole at the right reads "Farmington". A ladder leads from the ground level up to the sign. A two-story gambrel-roofed house is behind the pole, surrounded by leafless trees.. A man stands beside a cellar hatchway at the side of the house. A frame outbuilding is on the hillside below the house. There appears to be a small bridge at the left. In the background, the land drops off sharply and there are open meadows with a few scattered large trees.
NotesSubject Note: The same house appears in 1995.36.1142. (Agins 8/20/2013)
