A rail fence surrounds the church and two trees at the far left. The second building has three stories, a porch with Doric columns and an entablature, a rear wing, and several chimneys. The building at the far right has an Ionic colonnade and a cupola. A picket fence surrounds the two buildings on the right. Two men and two women are walking in the street.
