A three-story yellow building with green shutters and a large chimney. A sign on the front of the building reads, "Eating House", and another on the side of the building reads, "Hotel by John Cox". Behind the yellow building is a run-down three-story white wooden building with broken windows and deteriorating wood paneling. On the opposite street corner, there appears to be a large dirt mound. People sit on the dirt mound and walk along the street.Inscription:
