Description
A small white single-story house sits on a corner lot at Read Avenue and 97th Street, Niagara Falls, New York, with its windows and door boarded up with plywood. A "Dead End" road sign and a black-and-white striped directional barrier with left and right arrows stand at the edge of the street. Power lines crisscross the upper portion of the scene, and trees and other similar houses are visible in the background. The setting appears quiet and vacant. Photographed by Penelope D. Ploughman.
