DescriptionDilapidated buildings line a river. Most appear to have stone foundations. Some have wooden porches, sheds, and possibly animal pens, enclosed with rail or board fences. Laundry hangs from a clothesline stretched between two buildings. Trees grow between some of the buildings. The building at the far left may be a mill. A square church tower is in the left background. A stone arched bridge is in the right background. A large three-story building is on the opposite side of the bridge.
