Photograph, from left to right, of Mertie Whitaker and Josie Shaw standing on the front edge of lawn and next to a couple of cars parked on the curb outside the West's residence on Griffin Avenue. The 2 women stand in the near distance at center; both look to the camera. The street curb stretches on an upward angle behind them from the lower right corner and up to the left. The lawn occupies the space to the left of the curb. Along and to the right of the curb, 2 cars are parked end-to-end behind Mertie and Josie. The cars are viewed at an angle from the side and face towards the right. Griffin Avenue stretches behind the cars and is visible in the background at left. Houses stand in the distance, lining the far side of Griffin Avenue.
