Description

Photograph of the backside of H. H. West's home on Griffin Avenue, taken after the removal of vines and rose bushes. Overgrown grass spans the yard in the foreground. The yard stretches back towards the rear of the house. A concrete walkway extends back at left towards a door on the backside of the house. The back of the house is viewed straight-on at a slight distance. The first story of the house is constructed of slats and the upper story is constructed of shingles. A shed juts out from the back of the house at center. To the left of it, a long staircase leads up an entrance on the second floor. In front of the shed and to the right of the staircase, a concrete patio extends towards the camera. Two chairs sit atop the patio. A tree stands in the foreground along the right edge of the image.
