Description
"A black-and-white photograph identified as Moorhouse home, Pendleton, with family group in front. Eleven people sit or stand around the entrance to a light-colored wooden house. The house has gingerbread-style trim, with a lacy crest interrupted by finials running around the top of its small flat porch roof and the edge of the roof line, and delicate crenelation along the roof ridge with a finial at the gable above the porch. More gingerbread ornaments the gable. A leafy vine obscures the right side of the house and climbs up the porch past a birdcage; other leafy plants are near the porch and in the foreground of the photo, and a strip of netting has been strung on both sides of the porch front as guides for more vines. A boardwalk has been laid through the lawn to the porch. Two women sit on chairs on the porch. One wears a white shirt and darker long skirt and has some light-colored ornament in her hair. The other woman is all in white and sits in a rocking chair. There is no balustrade to the porch, and along its edge sit a man and woman. The man wears a three-piece suit and bow tie, and the woman is in a white shirt and dark skirt. Like the other women, she wears her hair in a pompadour. She sits with her feet on the boardwalk. Left of her a man with a moustache, wearing a suit, sits in a rocking chair on the grass, holding a young girl on his lap. The girl wears a white dress and stockings and dark shoes. Near their feet, sitting on the boardwalk, are two boys. The boy closest to the house wears dark shorts with suspenders and a white shirt; his legs and feet are bare. The boy next to him is in a dark sailor-suit-style polka-dotted shirt and dark shorts, with dark stockings and shoes. At the right side of the photograph is a group of three people. Major Moorhouse and his wife sit in wooden rocking chairs, while another man in a three-piece suit and bowler hat stands between them in the background. The Major also wears a suit; his wife is in a long dark dress with ruffles at the hem, and has a long chain ornamenting her ensemble. Only two people are not looking directly at the camera; the man sitting on the porch edge, and the woman in white on the porch. Behind her gleam glass windows, with lacy curtains and light blinds behind them; above the screen door is the house number 601."
