Black and white photo. Elevated perspective. Trees in the background. The side of a two-story brick building with two chimneys is nestled among them. There are windows on the upper and lower floors. There is a lawn in front of the building. A road runs horizontally across the photo and has trees on both sides of it. In the center of the photograph, stone steps lead down into a grassy clearing (the garden). There are shrubs on either side of the steps. To the left is a white pergola and a white, decorative elevated structure (lower right). There are bushes and a shrub line on the right side of the photo. In front of the shrub line are four white lampposts, spaced apart. There is a stone bench between the top two lampposts and another set of stone steps between the bottom two lampposts. In the center of the garden are three fish ponds, ringed with stones. The middle pond is a long, prism shape while the top and bottom ponds are both smaller, circular ponds. The two circular ponds are the same size and are situated at the midline of the center pond.
