DescriptionView of three boys sitting on the porch of the Horace Bushnell Cheney house at 78 Forest Street in South Manchester, Connecticut. They are all wearing coats and winter hats. The camera angle runs parallel to the house. Two boys sit on the left near the edge of the porch, and the third sits on the right under a large window. What appears to be a wooden airplane sits between them. There are a few chairs on the porch behind them. The boy on the far left is Stephen Pierson Cheney and the one on the far right is his younger brother, Roger Williams Cheney.
