A digital print color photograph of a blue painted house within a wintry city landscape. The blue house appears on the left side of the image, sitting in a snow-covered, overgrown lot. The image has been captured from the street in front. The clapboard dwelling appears to be one and a half stories, with four straight sides and a peaked, gable style roof. There is an enclosed entryway on the right side, also with clapboard siding and a gable style roof, with a small wooden porch and stairs leading down to the ground. There is a horizontal rectangular window on the first floor and a matching, but slightly smaller window on the second floor. Both windows and the entryway have been boarded up. On the left side of the building is a white square with a red "X," the only elements of the structure not covered with blue paint.
