Description

Photograph of Dorothea Siemsen standing on a sidewalk and posing in front of her family's home on Los Encinos Avenue in Glendale. A sidewalk stretches through the foreground on an upward angle from the lower left corner towards the right. Hedges line the left side of the sidewalk. Dorothea Siemsen stands along the back edge of the sidewalk at center and looks to the camera. Behind her, a driveway intersects the sidewalk. Further back, the Siemsen family residence stands in the background, left-of-center. It is viewed at an angle from the front and the side. Tall trees obscure the front side of the home. A neighboring house stands in the distance at right.
