'This is the view one gets of the house as one walks up from the lily pond. The large elm on the left is one of a group of four trees of this species. Scarcely distinguishable and seemingly under it is a European liden. In the foreground on the right is a spruce. The shubbery hides the gravel walk from the road to the house. As one enters the main hall from the verandah, on the right is the library, on the left the drawingroom. Facing this way, on the floor above, are two large bedrooms with a bath between. The house is roomy and comfortable, in every sense a home. It has been well kept up.'

'As in the case of the horse barn, the cow barn opposite is deceptive as to its size. The ground falls away, and the cows enter thier concrete-floored, modern stable at either side. Forty cows are now comfortably housed there. The part of the barn seen in the picture is devoted to the storing of hay and machinery. On the left is the big concrete silo. A small structure in line with the left corner of the barn is a shed in which milk cans are set out to air. The fence in the foreground separates the field from the road to wheeling. This picture was taken a few yards from the horse barn. The tenant house, already pictured, is about fifty yards to the left. The magnificent hills which form such a picturesque background do not show up in this picture.'
