Two Shaker Brothers are posed in the picture, one leaning against the picket fence and the other atop a carriage mounting platform. Two Sisters are behind the picket fence near the gate that led to the Office. Of special note, the sign over the doorcap on the Office reads "Office & Store" and although it had been repainted to say "Chair Store" and later, "Chair Shop" is in the collection of the Shaker Museum|Mount Lebanon. Inscribed in pencil on the proper left end of the card, "Second Family Mt Lebanon."
