Source catalog description
This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.
A digital print color photograph of a house painted a dark teal blue in a grassy city lot. The house is a single story brick house with a red shingled hip style roof. There are two low and wide concrete steps leading up to the front metal security door on the right side of the house, and three square, perforated metal coverings on the large window to the left. A mail slot is next to the front door, just beneath the window. Several tall green bushes or weeds grow in front of the window. The house, including the metal covered window, door, and steps has been painted teal blue. Only the red roof shingles have not been painted. There is a short side walk leading from the front steps to the sidewalk in front. The surrounding yard is slightly overgrown with several flowering weeds.
