Large branches of an oak tree frame the view of a large farmhouse, barn, and outbuildings. The two-story house has two front dormers and porches on the front and back. A pickup truck is parked behind the house. The barn has a gambrel roof and three roof venilators. Painted on the gable end of the barn is "J.(?). Elmer" with the unreadable date below. There are chickens near the outbuildings. On the reverse of the print is written: "Farm home and buildings in the dairy region of southern Wisconsin."
