A model hot air balloon is the focus of attention at the Robert S. Somers residence, 1015 Somers Avenue. Children and adults have gathered at the northwest corner of this brick, Italianate style home and gaze up as the balloon descends. The women are wearing white skirts with shirtwaist blouses and the girls are dressed in shorter length white dresses with long stockings. Two of the women are seated on a wooden lawn bench. Two of the men have on suit coats, white shirts and ties while a third has on a white shirt with suspenders. The boys are seen in short pants with long, dark stockings. Visible details of the home include ornate wooden eave brackets, masonry crowns above the windows and rain down spouts.
