A family photograph album of 23 mounted albumen prints of a house and large garden with statuary, potted palms, and planting beds decorated with conch shells. The house sits on a tree-lined road, and there are three interior photographs of rooms with Victorian furnishings and decor. There is a portrait of a well-dressed man, and another with four young men and women, presumably his family. The women are posed with a little girl in another photograph, and there is a group portrait of 10 people on a lawn tennis court, holding rackets. Some photographs in the garden focus on specific plants, particularly palms, and there are some scenic views of a canyon and stream. There are no identifications in the album, and the album's compiler and photographer are unknown.
