Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

A digital print color photograph of a pink painted house within a wintry city landscape. The clapboard house appears on the right side of the image, behind a delapidated black chain link fence. Next to the house, on the left, is an empty lot, also with chain link fence. Snow covers the ground and the street in front, from which the image is captured. The square, four-sided house is one and half stories, plus a basement, and has a peaked gable style roof with dentil decorative moldings along the trim. The door is on the left and there's a small, covered front porch. There is a large, central window on the second floor, and what would have been a large, triple-paned window on the main floor, along with two small windows on the basement level. All of the windows and the door have been boarded up, and several of the front steps are broken.
