This exterior view of the Robert S. Somers residence shows a corner of the brick Italianate home at 1015 Somers Avenue. Robert Somers' grandson, Lester A. Somers, is holding a metal drinking cup under a cast iron water pump. Water is flowing out of the cup onto the grass. Lester is wearing short pants and sandals with no stockings. The trees, bushes and plants are in full foliage and what appears to be a morning glory vine is in bloom on a trellis at the porch corner. A wooden bucket near the rainwater downspout serves as a planter. Visible details of the Italianate construction include a decorative square porch post, wooden brackets and dentils at the eaves, as well as a filigreed cast iron roof railing on the porch.
