DescriptionTwenty-four small, white cabins or cottages are arranged in rows on grassy lawns with paved driveways between them. Two larger buildings, possibly the owner's house or office and a service building, are at the left. Some of the driveways appears to be bordered with white stones. Small flower gardens are near some of the units. A sign is beside the road in the foreground. Trees and bushes, some with autumn foliage, are in the background.
