It has a large bay window with sashed lights, and another window above it on the second floor. A small porch ell is elevated to entry level with a set of stairs leading to it. A man and woman are standing at entry level, identified as Dr. and Mrs. J.W. Waughop. A boy is standing on the stairs, identified as Phil Waughop. A woman wearing an apron, possibly a servant, possibly African-American, identified as Augusta Sherwood, is standing at the foot of the stairs. There may be a servants’ entrance at this ground level. To the right of the house is a brick wall with an opening in it. Budd Bay can be seen through the entryway, with trees in the distance. To the left of the house is another residence.
