A small, single-story house with dark wood siding and stone columns is seen behind a chain-link fence. The windows and doorways are boarded up, and fabric awnings hang above each opening. The yard is overgrown with tall grass and wildflowers. Trees in the background provide partial shade, and the sky is clear and blue. Photographed by Penelope D. Ploughman.
