Description

Photograph, from left to right, of Mertie West, Zetta Witherby, Dode (Sarah) Witherby and Will Witherby posing outside Zetta and Dode Witherby's residence on North Stanley Avenue. The group stands on a curving walkway at center. All look to camera. A suitcase sits on the walkway in front of them. Behind and to the right of Will Witherby, a lawn stretches past the front of the house and out-of-frame. The front of the Witherbys' house stretches across the background on an angle. The front door stands behind Mertie and Zetta. A number plate to the left of the door reads, "501." The house extends back to the right. Hedges and shrubbery line the space below a window at right. Wide, opaque, white bands originate in the lower left and lower right corners and extend upward along their respective edges.
