An out-of-focus and poorly lit photograph of the United States Supreme Court Building, as viewed at an angle from the south. First Street NE passes through the foreground on an angle back to the left. The far side of the street is lined by hedges. Beyond the hedges, the west facade of the Supreme Court Building rises, off-center to the right. The neoclassical building is viewed at an angle from the front and faces left. A columned portico juts forward from the center of the building. It is capped by a sculpted pediment. The building's wings stretch out to either side of the west porch. Two sculpted, seated figures extend out from the porch and flank it. At center, a flagpole rises and the American flag waves atop it. Four punched holes line the upper right edge.
