Allen family home in Swantown, Olympia, 1884

It is white with sashed windows at both levels, a doorway at the right side elevated slightly from ground level. On the front steps are three children and a woman. They are identified as Alice, Harry and Georgia Allen, and Jennie Lenherr (possibly their caregiver or neighbor). The children are in dresses. Miss Lenherr is in a dress with tight bodice, narrow sleeves and trimmed skirt. To the rear of the house can be seen a fenced yard with laundry hanging on a line. To the right a shed or other building is partly visible.
