DescriptionTwo drawings of the Silas Deane House in Wethersfield, Connecticut. The perspective is the same in both drawings--the right side and front of the house are visible, with a tree on the right that partially obscures the side of the house. There are shrubs and other trees around the house, and a low wooden fence right behind the large tree.
