A Locomobile brand car is parked on the drive at Black Point near the "laundry," the rear section of the house that served as temporary living quarters for the family while the main portion of the house was being built. It later served as laundry and kitchen for the main house, and as living quarters for the staff. The porch and tower of the main house are in the background behind trees.
