DescriptionView from a roof or dormer window includes treetops and the upper stories of red brick buildings, apparently houses. The Victorian style building at the far right has a mansard roof with a diaper pattern, iron roof cresting, and a tall chimney. Brackets are beneath the cornice. Arched windows, two of them paired, are visible below. A steeple or tower with a pointed roof is in the center background. A slanting roof and a brick chimney are in the left foreground. The sky appears cloudy and overcast.
