                <text>A yellow-green colorized Central House souvenir postcard with a view of the front and side of the house. The house is three stories, with the lower floors covered with open porches on the left and front of the house, with low balustrades. Three, tall chimneys can be seen atop the house. A house to the right can also be seen as well as what appears to be a garage in the back of the left driveway. An empty single horse carriage is waiting out front  of the Central House and two people stand by it to the left. Another person is on the porch. Distinguishing features of the people are difficult to discern. &#13;
