DescriptionLooking northwest toward the central area. The Episcopal Church is near the center of the composition. Behind this church to the right is a "grave yard." The Congregational Church is partly visible at the far right, and the drawing above it is probably a detail of that church. The "meadow" in the foreground is surrounded by "virginia fences." The hill in the background is Governor Hill.
