Description

Water color by Father Stephen Tushak of Mulberry Fields, Valley Lee Md. It is a summer scene. The main building is a two and a half story rosy brick, gray hip-roofed structure. It has two interior chimneys about half way in from each end. This view has a white triangular pediment porch over a brown paneled centered door on the first floor. The door is flanked by two fifteen light windows on each side. There are five twelve light windows on the second floor. There are three dormers which also have twelve light windows. There are green shutters on the first and second floor windows. To the right is a story and a half brick building with a standard peak roof. This building is oriented ninety degrees to the main house. The side facing the house has two windows and a center door. The side facing the viewer has an outside end chimney, a door on one side and a small white porch on the other. There is also a suggestion of a garret window. On the left of the main house is either another building or an addition. This structure is one story, with its roof line parallel to the house. There is an inside end chimney, one visible window and one visible porch near the house wall. Beyond that structure is another building, also oriented ninety degrees to the house. It appears to be a story and a half with an outside end chimney. No windows or doors are visible. There are elaborate plantings creating a wide green avenue to the house. This is a substantial establishment. Text below image: "Mulberry Fields St. Mary's County Maryland" Text on verso: "Painted by the Rev. Stephen J.
