[A house in Decatur, TX]

Photograph of a house in Decatur, TX. A pale grassy hill rises from the bottom edge of the photo, a leafless tree sitting to the left at it top. Leafless bushes sit farther into the photo at the hill's top, partially obscuring leafy bushes and trees from view. A tall tree with green foliage rises along the right edge of the image, rising from the top of the hill into the sky. Beyond the green plants on the hill sits the house, one corner pointed towards the camera. The building is made of off-white bricks with faded red sloping roofing. The bottom half of the corner facing the camera is made up by arches supported by thin rectangular columns, all holding up a balcony with iron-wrought railing. Above the balcony, the walls of the building zigzag as the different sections of the house meet while a single row of tall windows spans their width. The red sloping roofing tops the edges of these sections, with iron-wrought railing at their tops. A tower sits near the right edge of the house and has A-frame shaped roofs on each of its four sides, its top disappearing off-camera. A chimney rises a shorter …
