A small sign on the pole reads: "Station / 33." Signs stenciled on the shop windows read: "Castoria / Diamond / Dyes" and "Lactated / Food." A dog, which appears to be an English setter, is on the porch. A carriage or surrey drawn by a horse is on the dirt road in the foreground. A man, blurred from movement, is by a tree at the right. A tree in the right background appears to be a fruit tree. A clothesline is nearby. A gambrel-roofed house is in the left background.
