Description

Water color by Father Stephen Tushak of Riverview, Avenue, Md. It is a summer scene. The part of the house on the right is a rectangular brick story and a half with inside end, single-stack, corbel capped chimneys at each end. The chimneys are not centered on the peak; there is more chimney toward the visible side. There are three gabled dormers in the visible roof, a center door on the first floor, and a window with shutters on each side of the door. Both the windows are capped with brick arches. There are four steps up to a small covered porch with a white railing. The chimney ends of the building have a parapet-like extension built above the roof line. There is one window on the second floor. There is a one story frame addition on the visible end of the building which has a gable roof. There is one window on the side of this space and a tiny attic window on the end. There is a connector between this addition and the next which has a door, but no visible windows. The next building also is a single story with a gable roof and an outside end, corbel capped single-stack chimney on the opposite side to the connector. There is a single nine over nine window in the visible side. Another low building is just beyond this; it is probably not attached. It, too, has a gable roof and one window on the visible side. No chimney is visible. Text below image: "Riverview St. Mary's County Maryland" Text on verso: "Painted by Rev. Stephen J. Tushak of Walford, Iowa Presented to Chas. E.
