In the foreground we can see a barn and a home, located where the Percival Mansion was later to be built just to the south of the Fourth Avenue Bridge. A woman stands inside a small enclosed fence behind the home. Behind them is the Fourth Avenue Bridge, with a few structures extending out to its sides on left and right. The Deschutes Estuary separates West Olympia from Olympia. The town extends along a peninsula several blocks to the north and south.
