Description

3 1/2"h x 4 9/16"w landscape oriented black and white photo of the White House at Charlotte Hall School. This view was identified by Hope Grace as the south and west sides. The building was a story and a half with white walls and a dark "Dutch" shingle roof. There was an inside end chimney with corbel at each end of the building. A very large center dormer was flanked by two small dormers. Each dormer had one double hung six over six light window. The large center dormer had vertical siding and a "pediment" created by dark moulding. On the first floor, there was a shed roof open porch in the center of the building with the porch floor supported by four small brick posts. Stairs to the ground were on the side facing the camera. There were two tall double hung six over six light windows with flat arch on each side of the door. The door was very dark. There was a small window or access panel to the basement on the near side of the porch. On the first floor of the gable end were two tall six over six double hung windows with a flat arch on top. The arch was painted a dark color. On the second floor were two smaller six over six double hung windows, also with an arch. An electric line ran from just above and to the left of the near second floor window down to the ground. There was no landscaping around the building. Another building was visible in the distance. A white fence ran between the buildings. ************************************ Text on verso: in pencil by Hope Grace "Charlotte Hall School White House S. and W. sides ca. 1937" and in purple stamp ink "2"
