A black and white photograph of the Workman House repainting, ca. 1990s. Only one of the home's four brick wings is visible at the center. The structure has such architectural elements as moulds along the bottom of the pitched roof's edge, arched windows, keystones, and capital-topped columns. A man stands on the top of a ladder at the center of the top, with his left foot on the second-floor's window ledge and his right on the ladder itself. He wears a cap, sweatshirt, and light-colored pants. In his right hand he holds a bucket of paint and a brush. A label at the top of the back has the name, address, fax and phone numbers of the museum along the top. At the center is, "As part of the Homestead's repainting project, / the window frames of the Workman House / changed from their 1970s sage green color / to the original 1870s dark brown color." The name of photographer Max van Balgooy is below the latter. At the bottom are the terms and conditions of for the photograph's reproduction and publication.
