Description
"Stationsgebäude in Goedverwacht." ("Station building in Goedverwacht."). The picture shows a church building made of stones with stairs leading to its entrance and probably with a tin roof. To the right a two-storied house, the upper story being an attic story. The house has a u-shaped pitched roof made of tin and a canopy on the front side. The house is surrounded by a wall. On the center right two smaller houses with thatched roofs. On the left a two-storied house probably with a tin roof. In the foreground probably gardens surrounded by fences. Mountains in the background. Imprinted on the image (only part of what is imprinted on the photography can be read): "Goedverwacht. Stationsgebäude." ("Goedverwacht. Station building.").
