Transcription

No. 9 Front view of the chapel in which the belfry does not appear. A side walk is in the foreground. Virginia looks almost devout, but in spite of her serious expression, she is responsible for my amusement as she uttered a most absurd remark just under her breath and in a way to avoid a mark of breach of silence. The boxes and sticks are for morning glories, and the vine in the gable is a Virginia Creeper. The steps lead up to the back porch.
