Description
Home of Benjamin Davis Wilson (aka "Benito" Wilson). Elevated white brick(?) house, with staircase leading to a covered front porch. The house itself is mostly obscured by trees, shrubs and other plants. Seven (7) adults and 5 children are visible; three on the porch, one on the stairs, and the rest on the ground in front of the staircase. The five (5) children appear to be sitting on the ground, just behind two dogs.
