Description

This is an exterior view of the Dixwell House with Eliza Dixwell and another woman sitting on the porch on Moss Hill Mountain, Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. A large house is behind the two women that are sitting on the porch. There is ivy growing over some of the posts that hold up the porch roof and a large blind can be pulled down to keep out the sun where the women sit.
