Painting of the Ralph Wagler farm

The painting itself shows a dark-coloured shed on the left edge, a dark-coloured barn in the middle, a light-coloured building to the right of the barn, and then a light-coloured two story house, with a single story addition on the right hand end of the house. To the right of the house is a driveway extending off into the background of the painting.

The house is in three distinct sections. To the left was the smoke house and wash house/woodshed, dated by Lorraine Roth as possibly 1858.The middle section was a summer kitchen. The part on the right, a storey and a half stone structure, was the Doddyhaus. These buildings were behind the two-storey log house house occupied first by Nicholas and Anna (Ernst) Lichti, followed by Nicholas and Barbara (Schmidt) Lichti, and the Rudolph Kropf family.
