Another woman, possibly her daugher Marie Mott Davis or Elizabeth Mott Cavender, attired in a dark-colored dress sits on the grass to her left. A child sits to the left of the seated woman. A child's hand cart lies in the grass next to them. Trees, mostly free of foliage, line the property. Mott and her husband James moved from their Philadelphia city residence to Roadside in 1857. The residence was used for the Underground Railroad and was part of an estate acquired by Mott's daughter Marie and her real estate developer husband Edward M. Davis known as Old Farm. Old Farm comprised land between Old York Road, Penrose Avenue, Cheltenham Avenue (City Line Avenue), and Beech Avenue. Mott's daughter Elizabeth lived at Roadside in 1865 before passing away from cancer. Title from manuscript note on verso. Photographer's imprint printed on verso.
