DescriptionA horse-drawn wagon is in front of a two-story house with iron balconies, louvered shutters, chemineys, and lintel-like window heads. The building is apparently a two-family dwelling, with two front doors, both with sidelights and fanlights. A card in the window reads: "Dr. Fuller's / OFFICE". A sign on the corner of the high brick basement reads: "DR. FULLER." A man is leaning against the fence at the left. Trees and bushes are in the background. A drain is visible in the curbstone edging the sidewalk.
