A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph depicts several shingle-sided cottages clustered around a dirt courtyard. In the foreground, two houses frame the scene, the house on the right featuring a large window and circular vent. The lower third of the composition is cast in shadow. Low wooden fences border a central path leading toward additional cottages in the background. Above, a pale sky meets the sharp rooftops along a level horizon.
