DescriptionView of the Phillips family farm in Lisbon, Connecticut shows a two-story clapboard Georgian house with nearly leafless elm trees in the foreground. To the left and behind the house are stone walls. A shed with a wide opening is in the background. A dirt road is on the right and is lined with utility, probably telegraph, poles. In other photographs are various members of the Phillips family, some at the Lisbon farm. One photograph shows the gravestone of Thomas D. Phillips (1838-1918) and his wife Mary A. Lucas (1842-1916).
