Trees line the path, the street, and corners of the lawn. The trees obscure the view of the front facade, which includes the name of the church on the frieze above the doorway. Several well-dressed parishioners of all ages approach the church from the sidewalk and walk down the path to the entrance. Also shows a man at the doorway of the neighboring residence with rear buildings that border the fenced church lawn. An elderly man crossing the street.
