3 1/2"h x 3 1/2"w black and white photo of the Philip C. Drury house. It was also sometimes called Hargases or Hargaster. The house was in Clements. This photo shows a two story gable roofed main building and a sizable story and a half addition. Both buildings had white clapboard siding. The roof on the main building did not have a very steep pitch. On the gable end there was a small four light window near the roof peak. There were large chimneys about halfway down each roof line, but both had lost several courses of brick. The more visible chimney was squashed between the main building and the addition. There was a four over four rather narrow window with shutters right next to the chimney shoulder. On the long wall there were three windows with shutters on the second floor and two windows with shutters on the first floor. The entry door was at the far corner of the first floor, protected by a projecting shed roof. In the addition there was a large firebox and chimney whose corbel was beginning to fail. Much of the chimney had been whitewashed. The pitch on this roof was quite steep. There was a six light window next to the chimney stack and two dormers in the roof with six over six double hung windows. On the long wall were two widely spaced double hung windows with six over six lights in each. A screened porch was just visible on the far side of the chimney. The property's well was carefully enclosed and still had its pulley and rope for pulling up water. There was the gable end of a modern building on the far right side of the photo.
