The image is a modern photograph of an old terrace building (built in the early 19th century) that appears to be housing. It is four storeys high, with a white facade and bay windows on every floor. The bay window on the second floor has a balcony with black railings and a small porch hanging over the top of the window. There are steps leading up to a door with another balcony above it and railings running across the front of the house. A tall tree is partially visible on the left-hand side of the photograph that is in front of the building.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vizcqkupmww5p7g6nc24zt5w/bafkreifolwjddzbakmkar6vd7tenxn4mhfu276isj7ttx7pidrcnihguua)
