On each floor, several doors and windows are visable. It appears to be an appartment style living situation with each living space seperate from the others. To the right and left side of the main building, smaller connected two-story buildings are visable. Only the second floor windows are visable over the greenery on the right structure. The structure on the left is also two-stories tall and has a stone archway leading to the main door of the building. three windows are visable on the portion of the structure facing the camera. A chimney is also visable twords the back of the left building. The foreground of the image is covered in grass and areas of unweeded fround. Finally five small trees can be seen both right next to one of the buildings or closer to the camera in the foreground.
