Also on the porch, near the front door, is a standing ladder. Part of the porch wall, as well as its multi-colored plaster designs, is at the bottom left corner. A palm tree is at the far left and behind the home at the right. Written in blue pencil on the top left corner of the back is, "RALPH & CAROL TEMPLE COLLECTION / LCN FRONT VIEW."
