DescriptionViews of two churches and a house. One church, a large stone building with two towers and a picket fence in the foreground, is probably the Second Congregational Church in Winsted. The other church is a small classical revival church with a square tower; a cemetery, a picket fence, and a grassy field are in the foreground and evergreen trees, probably cedars, are in the background. A horse-drawn carriage is front of the house, which is partially hidden by a picket fence and tall trees, including elm trees.
