[Raised Houses Within Wooded Area]

Hoffman, Peter B.

A dirt road leads from the left side of the photograph, to the right side. There are wooden posts with wire running through them in the foreground running along side the road. On the right of the photograph is a man wearing a dark, 3-piece suit with a dark hat. He is looking at the photographer with his hands on his hips and his right leg slightly bent. He is standing in front of a tall tree that extends high up above the house it and the man are standing in front of. The house is a white or light colored house that is raised on pieces of stone. The front of the house has 4 large stone on the right side and the left side has three large stones. There is a wooden staircase that leads from the dirt road up to the enclosed front porch of the house. There is a window on the right side of the house. To the left of this house is an identical house, but raised off the ground using wooden beams. There is another man wearing a dark vest and pants, with a lighter colored long sleeve shirt standing in front of another tall tree, that stands in front of the house. In front of the wooden staircase, to the man's left, and the photograph's right, is a woman wearing a light colored dress and lighter hair, which is put up. There is a little girl in a white dress and the hem hits her knees and she is not wearing shoes. The woman is touching the girl's hair. To their left, and the photograph's right is a smaller boy wearing shorts above his knees and a lighter colored shirt. His arms are above his head and his hands touching the top of his head and he is not wearing shoes. To his right is a taller boy who is wearing dark pants, a lighter colored long sleeve and suspenders. His left arm is in his pants pocket and his right hand is on his hip. There is another raised house behind this group of people farther off into the distance.
