DescriptionA distant view of a small town is surrounded by fourteen separate vignettes. Tree stumps are in a large field in the foreground. Logs are piled at the edge of the field near a Virginia split rail fence. To the right of the fence are trees and what appear to be the outbuildings of a farm. A stagecoach drawn by four horses is at the intersection of two dirt roads immediately beyond. The road on the left leads to a cluster of houses with outbuildings, surrounded by trees. Smoke issues from the smokestack of a large factory in the left background. The road on the right leads to additional houses, a church with a steeple, and a brick school with a cupola. The vignettes include views of the church, school, and twelve houses, many in the Gothic or Italianate style, with porches, brackets, vergeboards, bay windows, dormer windows, and other characteristic details.
