Description: At the lower edge of the picture, an unpaved path (sidewalk) and road can be seen. In the space between the path walk and the road is a maple sapling. On the opposite side of the path is a board fence and a gate (at the far right), with a stone gate post. The center of the picture shows a green lawn leading up to the Children's House. On the right, about half way up the picture, is the Meeting House and the Ministry's Shop behind it. The houses along the sidewalk leading from the road to C. H. are the edge of the infirmary and three or four unidentified buildings, ending with the 1793 Dwelling House and the Sister's Shop. Plantings in these pictures are young trees.
