This fall view looks northwest past clothesline support poles in foreground to the south end of the wellhouse in near middle ground and to the Colony barn in left center middle ground. At close left of the wellhouse are three oil barrels, one on its side likely supplying fuel to the stove in the wellhouse indicated by the apparent chimney. The barn, painted white above the first story logs, exhibits the unusual "barrel vault" roof structure rather than the usual gambrel roof of the typical Colony barn. Behind the barn in near background is seen the cleared face of the bluff below the upper field. A line of heavy forest is visible in background beyond that field. At far right background, through branches of a sapling in foreground, can be seen the house and barn of Colonists Ferber and Ruth Bailey up atop "Bailey Hill".
