An oval photograph in the upper right section of the image shows the house from the street.

In the lower left corner of the image, a triangular photograph shows palm trees along a dirt road. The area around the two photographs is decorated with abstract drawings, while the words "Residence of Burton E. Green" appear on a scroll in the bottom right corner.
