This photo provides a glimpse into the side yards of a quiet residential neighborhood on a back street corner in Searsport, Maine. It is autumn, and elm trees line the dirt and leaf-strewn street. A vernacular Greek Revival cape faces the crossing street at the right. The camera captures the simple, classic lines and details of the houses behind it. Various outbuildings and the partially obscured Searsport House on Main Street are visible in the background. The presence of a telephone pole at the left indicates a post-1900 date.
