Photograph of outdoor Christmas decorations, showing strings of lights on windows, December 26, 1930. At right, a wide path lined with flowers and shrubs connects sidewalk in the foreground at right with the entrance of the large home in the background at right. A facade consisting of an arch and four columns marks the entryway of the home. Three barred windows can be seen along the front of the home, and another barred window is visible along the left side. Above each barred window, a small string of lights are visible. Several smaller windows can be seen on the second level of the house, but no decorative lights are visible. Shrubs and trees line the perimeter of the home.
