Black and white photograph of an unidentified group of people on a stoop by Arthur Leipzig. Most of the group is looking toward the camera. The stone stoop has seven steps and a solid two tier wall on each side in place of handrails. On the left a man is standing on the dirt sidewalk with one foot resting on the second step with a window visible in the background. He is smoking and wearing a dark suit with a black uniform hat. There is a girl seated on the upper tier of the wall behind the man. She is wearing a skirt with button closure and a white head wrap. Her elbows on resting on her knees and she is supporting her head on her closed fists. At the top of the stairs a woman is leaning against the right side of the entranceway.
