Description:: Photograph of a drinking fountain standing along the side of the road. A stone constructed drinking fountain stands in the foreground at left.

Beyond the fountain, a road extends across the mid-ground on a downward angle from right to left. On the far side of the road, a car (presumably H. H. West's Buick) is parked on the opposite roadside. It sits right-of-center and is viewed from the side, facing left. Beyond the car, trees cover hillsides that occupy the background.
