Water color by Father Stephen Tushak of Bachelor's Hope. It is a summer scene. A circular white drive brings people to the entrance to the house. It is a central brick block with symmetrical brick wings and an additional frame addition on the house's left. There are outside end, corbeled cap chimneys on each side of the central block. A three bay porch encloses the front door and two flanking windows. Either a door or window is partially visible at the end of the porch. There are two flat arched windows in each wing and three windows in the second floor of the central block. Below the middle window is the date 1668. There are two windows visible in the lower level of the frame addition and one dormer window in that addition. The stairs to the second floor of the central block are boxed in and visible on the right side of the porch. There are hipped roofs on each wing and a modified gambrel roof on the central block. The brick is a warm rose tone and the windows and porch are painted white, as is the frame addition. That addition has green shutters.
