An albumen print of a two story house. A group of artillery officers stands on the porch, along with an unknown general standing in the center. The number "8" appears over the portico to the house. Several soldiers appear in the second floor windows. The artillerymen manning the Napoleon smoothbores are wearing shoulder scales, usually worn by U.S. Regulars as part of the dress uniform. They might belong to a U.S. Regular artillery unit. Note the sword holding open the middle window on the second story. There is some loss on the right side of the photograph possibly due to ink spilling or chemical deterioration. "XXIV" "915" written on rear.
