Description
"A black-and white photograph identified as Moorhouse residence, Pendleton. Seven adults stand on the front porch of the home, posed for a portrait with a baby who is perched on a pillow on the railing of the porch, next to one of its two columns. The baby is being supported by one of the men. There is some snow on the ground. The men wear hats and suits. Several of the women wear white blouses and long dark skirts; a couple others wear long dark dresses. The baby is all in white. The house is neo-Dutch Colonial in style. The clapboard walls of its lower story are painted white while the shingled second and third stories are a darker shade. Curtains can be seen behind the glass windows. In the foreground of the photograph is the wooden framework of a fence, filled in with chicken wire. Tall trees stand behind the fence, and they are nearly bare of leaves, giving a good view of two dormer windows on the second floor and a brick chimney at the right side of the roof. The porch and first floor are approached by a short wooden stair with white wooden railings. The house sits on a foundation of stones lined with white morter. In the background at the right of the photo can be seen a fence railing and behind it another light-colored wooden frame house with lacy details on the porch columns."
