DescriptionView of a fireplace in a carpeted room. The walls of the room are covered by beadboard and floral wallpaper. Several pictures hang on the walls. A few images of sailboats and one large image of a cow hang directly above the mantel. They are flanked, one one each side, by rifles. A banjo sits on the ground in the corner to the left of the fireplace, in front of a narrow door. There is a chair against the wall to the right. A low, metal fence surrounds the opening of the fireplace, and various fire utensils sit inside of it. The room is at Sheffield Scientific School, a school of Yale College.
