Shows an oblique view of the two-story brick house with shuttered windows and three dormer windows protruding from the roof. Two sets of stairs lead to the front door, which is covered by a portico. A white picket fence surrounds the property. A sign hangs on the front of the house, "Graham House John Hoskins 1688." An African American man leans on the second-story windowsill with his left hand resting on his face and looks at the viewer. Hoskins operated the house as an Inn.
